Testicular dislocation: a rare consequence of blunt scrotal injury
DOI:

Nous décrivons le cas d’un homme de 22 ans présentant une luxation
testiculaire unilatérale par suite d’un traumatisme scrotal
fermé. Une cartographie Doppler couleur a révélé une testicule
viable ayant pénétré le canal inguinal. L’exploration inguinale a
confirmé que la testicule était saine et viable, et cette dernière a
été replacée dans le scrotum par orchidopexie. Le patient s’est
bien rétabli, sans aucune complication. Nous recommandons une
intervention rapide après la pose du diagnostic de luxation testiculaire
afin de préserver la fonction testiculaire.
Testicular dislocation is a rare clinical presentation that
occurs most commonly as a result of blunt scrotal injury.
It is immensely important to prevent any delay in diagnosis
as this can lead to loss of spermatogenic function of
the testis and increased risk of orchiectomy.1 We report a
case of unilateral testicular dislocation, in which the patient
presented to the emergency department 4 months after
the initial injury.
