Testicular rupture, typically resulting from trauma sustained during a motor vehicle crash or sports play, mainly affects those from the ages of 10–30. The main symptoms of testicular rupture are scrotal swelling and severe pain, which can make diagnosis difficult. Testicular rupture should be suspected whenever blunt trauma to the scrotum ...
A traumatic hematocele usually results from testicular rupture (80% of cases) or a tear in the pampiniform plexus veins. [8] Testicular rupture and testicular torsion are also common causes of scrotal hematocele. [8] It can also be caused by kidney injury, pancreatitis, hematological dysfunction, or vasculitis. [8]
This testicular necrosis led the patient into an emergency operation. Histology determined there was a ruptured sperm granuloma that led to the testicular thrombosis and necrosis. [ 13 ] Specifically, the walls of the vas deferens contained many growths of small ducts and gland-like structures, which came about as a response to the displacement ...
In most cases, the testes—which are made of a spongy material—can absorb some impact without serious damage. A rare type of testicular trauma, called testicular rupture, occurs when a testicle receives a direct blow or is squeezed against the hard bones of the pelvis. This injury can cause blood to leak into the scrotum and possibly even ...
Testicular torsion occurs most commonly at 12 to 18 years but can occur at any age. Torsion results in swelling and edema of the testis, and as the edema increases, testicular perfusion is further altered. The extent of testicular ischemia depends on the degree of torsion, which ranges from 180° to 720° or greater.
A hydrocele is an accumulation of serous fluid in a body cavity.A hydrocele testis, the most common form of hydrocele, is the accumulation of fluids around a testicle.It is often caused by fluid collecting within a layer wrapped around the testicle, called the tunica vaginalis, which is derived from peritoneum.
The testicle may be higher than usual in the scrotum and vomiting may occur. [1] [2] In newborns, pain is often absent and instead the scrotum may become discolored or the testicle may disappear from its usual place. [1] Most of those affected have no obvious prior underlying health problems. [1] Testicular tumor or prior trauma may increase risk.
Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is a cutaneous condition characterized by calcification of the skin resulting from the deposition of calcium and phosphorus occurring on the scrotum.
