Abstract
A 42-year-old male with autonomic dysreflexia after touching his scrotum was seen at the outward department. Radiological imaging showed a renal mass at the right side. After radical nephrectomy his symptoms disappeared. Such a case has never been described before. Our hypothesis is that autonomic dysreflexia is elucidated by stimulation of the testis as both testis and kidney have the same vascularisation and sensory innervation.
