title: [Echography in scrotal trauma].
abstract: The Authors report 28 cases of scrotal traumas evaluated during a period of 5 years on an amount of 1.100 scrotal echography: 5 patients with severe scrotal trauma are investigated with echography within 2 hours while the others between 1 and 6 days. Some cases of overlooked trauma were studied some months later. In their experience the authors underline the importance of echography in early diagnosis of scrotal contents lesions which need a surgical exploration and those which allow a medical treatment. Also ultrasound investigation is important in evaluating and in the follow-up the scrotal content lesions caused by trauma.
