Testicular Rupture: Clinical, Sonographic, and Surgical Correlation in an Adolescent Patient

Testicular tears, although uncommon, require early detection and control for symptom relief and, most importantly, organ salvage. Clinical examination of the scrotum cannot solely facilitate a valid diagnosis. Depending on the severity of the scrotal injury, treatment can be either conservative or surgical. Scrotal ultrasound is the preferred examination not only for the depiction and surveillance of testicular ruptures but also for guiding treatment planning. This case study describes the clinical assessment, imaging investigation, and management of an extensive testicular tear in a 14-year-old adolescent football athlete.

Abstract

Testicular tears, although uncommon, require early detection and control for symptom relief and, most importantly, organ salvage. Clinical examination of the scrotum cannot solely facilitate a valid diagnosis. Depending on the severity of the scrotal injury, treatment can be either conservative or surgical. Scrotal ultrasound is the preferred examination not only for the depiction and surveillance of testicular ruptures but also for guiding treatment planning. This case study describes the clinical assessment, imaging investigation, and management of an extensive testicular tear in a 14-year-old adolescent football athlete.
