Abstract EN
Testicular trauma is relatively uncommon.
However, severe injuries can result in many complications and should be carefully diagnosed and managed.
We present a case of testicular fracture diagnosis made by ultrasonography.
The surgical exploration revealed the fracture as well as complete rupture of the tunica albuginea.
Testicular rupture is the disruption of the tunica albuginea, while testicular fracture is a “break” in the testicular parenchyma.
Management could be conservative in mild fracture cases without rupture while suspected or confirmed fracture should be treated by surgical exploration.
