Scrotal trauma: a cause of testicular atrophy.
Clinical Radiology 1999 May
Scrotal trauma is often mentioned as a cause of testicular atrophy yet there have been few studies documenting the effect of scrotal trauma on testicular size months or years following injury. We performed clinical and sonographic examinations in 10 patients who had suffered blunt scrotal trauma. A significant reduction in volume of the injured testis was observed in 5/10 cases at follow-up sonography. In two cases the affected testis was heterogeneous and colour flow Doppler examination showed reduced flow. In three cases the testis was homogeneous but reduced in volume and in the remaining five cases the affected testis appeared normal. We conclude that testicular atrophy is a sequel of scrotal trauma and occurred in 50% of patients in this study.
