Abstract

Testicular rupture is an urologic emergency that presents after blunt or penetrating scrotal trauma and commonly seen among adolescents and young adults. Since physical examination revealed swollen, tender and ecchymotic scrotum after testicular trauma, it could be difficult to differentiate testicular rupture from other causes of acute scrotum. In case of delayed diagnosis and treatment, testicular rupture causes testicular atrophy, infertility, hypogonodal state and usually results with the loss of that testicule.

We report a 13-year-old male who developed complete testicular rupture after an accidental fall, to evaluate the diagnostic features and treatment modalities of complete testicular rupture in children.
