Abstract

Testicular rupture is a surgical emergency. Early diagnosis and surgical repair may save the ruptured testes. -Preoperative diagnosis based on only clinical features might be difficult to establish. Ultrasonography is a fast and accurate diagnostic method in the evaluation of the scrotum, and testes. In this report, ultrasonographic findings of a 15 year-old boy who was admitted to the emergency department with acute scrotal pain after a blunt trauma and, diagnosed as testicular rupture, were presented under the light of the literature.
