1. A host of non-traumatic conditions can afflict the male genitourinary (GU) system, many of which require prompt diagnoses to facilitate timely treatment and preserve organ function 2. Radiologists should be familiar with these entities and feel confident providing accurate diagnoses and appropriate management recommendations  

Goals -Show the spectrum of emergent, non-traumatic conditions afflicting the male GU system through a case-based pictorial format -Classify entities by etiology (infectious,vascular,miscellaneous) -Review appropriate management Overview Case-based pictorial review Upper GU tract -Infect: pyelonephritis; perirenal abscess -Vasc: renal vascular thrombosis/infarct -Misc: radiation nephritis; contrast-induced nephropathy; forniceal rupture Lower GU tract Infect: epididymoorchitis; pyocele;scrotal abscess; Fournier gangrene; prostatitis Vasc: testicular torsion/infarct, penile thrombosis Misc: malpositioned penile prosthesis, VP shunt, and Foley catheter   Summary Males can develop a host of non-traumatic GU conditions that require timely diagnoses and treatment to prevent permanent, often devastating outcomes. Radiologists play an integral role in the workup of these patients; accurate imaging interpretation is essential to expedite treatment and preserve organ function.
