  • Title: [The value of echography in scrotal contusions. Personal experience apropos of 20 cases].
    Author: Sellem G, Tobelem G, Economou C, Amer M, Arvis G.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1987; 21(5):327-30. PubMed ID: 3322178.
    Abstract:
    We report a serial case study of 20 patients presenting scrotal contusions and for whom an emergency scrotal ultrasonography was performed. This investigation is not a luxury. It was a useful confirmation diagnostic tool for hematocele in 1/3 of cases (7/20) as well as for the detection of associated epididymal and or testicular lesions. In 2/3 of cases (13/20) it detected lesions unsuspected by clinical examination so that a therapeutic decision was taken promptly. Scrotal echography is therefore a useful emergency tool not for major trauma where the surgical decision is evident, but for apparently benign trauma where the clinical examination is currently deficient and needs provided a trained ultrasonography operator is available.
