Scrotal hematocele as an unusual presentation of blunt abdominal trauma in three male infants

Abstract

Three infants presented with bluish discoloration and swelling of the scrotum with no history of scrotal trauma. Sonography revealed unilateral hematoceles in 2 cases and bilateral hematoceles in the third. All 3 infants had intact testes. The communicating hematoceles were the result of hemoperitoneum due to splanchnic hematoma. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 28:190–193, 2000.
