Traumatic Dislocation of the Ischemic Testis in a Child: Report of a Case

Abstract

We present the case of a 8-year-old child who presented with traumatic right testicular dislocation resulting from a blunt scrotal injury. He had been kicked, which did not involve his left testis in his left scrotum. He was admitted to our hospital with the complaint of right inguinal pain and dilation. The right testis was dislocated at the right inguinal region. Inguinal exploration confirmed an ischemic testis, which was relocated out of the scrotum and an orchiotomy was performed. This case emphasized that surgical exploration must be performed without hesitation on patients suspected of having ischemic testis.
