AB This  chapter  reviews  the  common  acute  infectious  and  structural  or  anatomic  GU  disorders.  There  are  five  GU  emergencies:  testicular  torsion,  Fournier’s  gangrene,  paraphimosis,  priapism,  and  significant  GU  trauma  (see  Chapter  265,  “Genitourinary  Trauma”).  Related  emergencies  include  strangulated  inguinal  hernia  (see  Chapter  84,  “Hernias”)  and  ruptured  abdominal  aortic  aneurysm  (see  Chapter  60,  “Aneurysmal  Disease”),  both  of  which  may  present  with  scrotal  pain.  Chapter  136,  “Pediatric  Urologic  and  Gynecologic  Disorders,”  discusses  urologic  emergencies  in  children  and  adolescents.
