摘要：
Chronic scrotal pain can be a difficult clinical entity to treat. Many different treatment options have been proposed. We describe the case of a young boy with chronic scrotal and inguinal pain on the right side, following two orchidopexies. After many therapies had failed, we treated the dorsal root ganglia of thoracic 12, lumbar 1 and lumbar 2 with pulsed radiofrequency, finally resulting in alleviation of his pain.
