[Blind traumas of the scrotum: three case reports]

The blind traumas of the scrotum are an uncommon event; references, iconography and descriptions of the clinical development of scrotal syndromes are poor. The scrotum and the didimal or funicular structures are often involved in different conditions. The authors are reporting on three interesting cases (for patients' age, mechanism of traumatism and anatomic damage), gathered from a series of 12 cases of blind traumas of the scrotum, observed during 2 years (2005-2006). They include the iconography related to each single case, and emphasize the uncertain role of ultrasonography with color Doppler for a correct diagnosis. The clinical evolution and the long-term damage to gonad functionality are presented.
