Résumé

Introduction: Scrotal trauma is rare, accounting for less than 1% of all traumas. The prognosis depends on the degree of the injury and the quality of care, in order to reduce the risk of severe functional sequelae. We present a clinical case of penetrating scrotal trauma without associated lesions of neighboring organs. Clinical case: A 39-year-old man with no particular history presented to the emergency department after a direct impact road traffic accident. The clinical examination found a left scrotal wound of 6 cm long axis, not touching the vaginal tunic, with a non-expansive epididymal hematoma classified grade II according to the AAST (American Association for the Surgery of Trauma), without other associated lesions. The treatment consisted of washing the wound and closing the different scrotal layers. The postoperative follow-up was simple. Conclusion: Scrotal trauma remains rare but can impact the functional prognosis. The surgical procedure depends on the extent of the lesion.
