Abstract

Amiodarone is a benzofuran derivative with predominantly class III antiarrhythmic activity that is widely used in refractory ventricular arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation in our daily clinical practice. Epididymitis may be found as a unusual but existing complication of amiodarone treatment. Epididymitis, as an unusual side-effect of amiodarone use. We present a case of non-infectious epididymitis related to amiodarone therapy.
