Abstract

Bilateral testicular rupture is rare. Incidence is highest in the 16–20 age group. There are no specific signs or symptoms which make a differential diagnosis between testicular rupture and scrotal traumas possible. Examination at Doppler and ultrasonography and early surgical exploration provide early diagnosis, which is necessary to safeguard fertility. We report one case of bilateral orchialgia, following a diving episode. Ultrasound examination of the scrotum showed bilateral multiple areas of altered echogenicity of the testicular parenchyma and an intact tunica albuginea. During surgery bilateral multiple areas of haemorrhagic necrosis were drained. Outpatient examination one month after leaving the hospital was normal. At 3 and 6 months the results of seminal examination were within normal limits according to the parameters established by the WHO.
