Traumatic testicular dislocation: a case report and review of published reports

Testicular dislocation after blunt scrotal trauma is a rare event. Its diagnosis depends on the awareness of the physician of its possible occurrence. It is usually a late finding during treatment of a motorcyclist brought to the emergency room because of multitrauma injury and is sometimes demonstrated in an abdominal computed tomography scan. We describe a typical case and discuss the chain of events leading toward the correct diagnosis and treatment based on a review of published reports.
