1/3. Communicating hematocele in children following splenic rupture: diagnosis and management.Acute hematocele is commonly associated with direct testicular trauma. blood within the tunica vaginalis may infrequently accompany blunt abdominal injury in the presence of a communicating hydrocele. Optimal management involves early recognition and treatment of the abdominal source of bleeding. Elective repair of the communicating hydrocele/hematocele should follow. We report 2 cases of boys with scrotal swelling due to communicating hematoceles. Both cases were associated with a patent processus vaginalis and splenic laceration secondary to blunt trauma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tunica (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Untreated rupture of the tunica albuginea.A patient with untreated rupture of the tunica albuginea underwent surgical exploration 6 weeks after acute scrotal trauma. A layer of epithelium had grown across the bulging seminiferous tubules, and no further surgical repair was necessary. This spontaneous repair phenomenon has not previously been reported pictorially in the human testis. The recommended treatment of testicular rupture is surgical exploration and repair.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = tunica (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Fibrous pseudotumor of the tunica vaginalis testis: imaging appearance.Fibrous pseudotumor is a benign paratesticular tumor that typically presents as a painless mass of the hemiscrotum. Because this tumor can mimic a malignant process, it is usually not diagnosed preoperatively. We describe a case of fibrous pseudotumor of the tunica vaginalis, demonstrating the ultrasound and magnetic resonance image (MRI) appearance with pathologic correlation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = tunica (Clic here for more details about this article) |
