Abstract:
Testicular rupture is a rare but serious complication of blunt scrotal trauma, often linked to high-impact injuries. We report the case of a 20-year-old male with pelvic fractures and a high-riding right testis following a motorcycle accident. Imaging confirmed left testicular rupture with tunica albuginea disruption and hematoma. Surgery was performed eight hours post-injury, involving tunica repair and debridement. Follow-up ultrasound showed preserved arterial flow despite reduced testicular size. This case underscores the need for prompt urological assessment in blunt trauma cases, ensuring timely intervention to maximize testicular salvage and function.
