Traumatic scrotal sac hematoma after a fall injury

Traumatic scrotal sac hematoma is an uncommon medical condition following a fall injury. Symptoms include swelling, pain, and discoloration. Accurate and immediate diagnosis is crucial to avoid complications and prevent testis loss, abscess formation, erectile dysfunction, and infection. This case highlights the importance of prompt evaluation and treatment to prevent complications and ensure optimal patient outcomes. A 56-year-old man without prior medical history presented to the emergency department with scrotal pain and swelling 10 h after a traumatic event. The patient underwent a series of examinations, including radiological studies, before undergoing scrotal exploration and hematoma evacuation under subarachnoid block anesthesia. As of now, the patient has not experienced any complications that have impacted his quality of life. Scrotal sac hematoma is formed following a blunt trauma when a significant force is transferred during contact with a solid object, impact from sports equipment, road traffic accidents, or falls from a height. If early exploration is delayed, then it can lead to complications like testicular atrophy, abscess formation, and infection. Hence, prompt diagnosis with clinical and radiological evaluation followed by immediate surgical intervention can result in better outcomes. Scrotal sac hematoma from blunt trauma is rare but can cause significant morbidity and psychological distress. Early surgical intervention is often necessary, especially if a testicle has ruptured, to salvage viable testicular tissue and control bleeding, resolve pain faster, shorten hospital stays, and improve the quality of life for patients.
