Testicle: an infarction of a testicle is commonly caused by testicular torsion and may require removal of the affected testicle(s) if not undone by surgery quickly enough. Eye: an infarction can occur to the central retinal artery which supplies the retina causing sudden visual loss. Bowel: Bowel infarction is generally caused by mesenteric ischemia due to blockages in the arteries or veins that supply the bowel. Associated diseases
Diseases commonly associated with infarctions include:

Peripheral artery occlusive disease (the most severe form of which is gangrene)
Antiphospholipid syndrome
Sepsis
Giant-cell arteritis (GCA)
Hernia
Volvulus
Sickle-cell disease

 The dictionary definition of infarction at Wiktionary
Because ML I is classified as a sialidosis, it is sometimes referred to as sialidosis type II. A rarer form of sialidosis – sialidosis type 1– occurs in children and adolescents and is often referred to as the juvenile form of the disorder. Children usually begin to show symptoms during the second decade of life, and myoclonus and cherry-red macules are often the initial symptoms. Patients usually develop seizures and progressive deterioration of coordinated muscular and mental activities. Pathophysiology
The role of sialidase is to remove a particular form of sialic acid (a sugar molecule) from sugar-protein complexes (referred to as glycoproteins), which allows the cell to function properly. Because the enzyme is deficient, small chains containing the sugar-like material accumulate in neurons, bone marrow, and various cells that defend the body against infection. Diagnosis
The detection of high urinary sialyl oligosaccharides and the confirmation of lysosomal enzyme deficiency in leukocytes or cultured fibroblasts make the diagnosis. Management
Treatment of sialidosis is similar to the other progressive myoclonic epilepsy disorders, which consists of managing seizures and myoclonus along with palliative, supportive, and rehabilitative care. See also
