abstract: Between 1986 to 1998, 40 patients, 16 to 52 years old, consulted for trauma of the scrotum. The trauma was closed in 36 cases. The trauma occurred by accident of traffic in 19 cases, an accident of work in seven cases, an accident during sport in seven cases, aggression in six cases and brawl in one case. The clinical symptomatology was dominated by inflammatory big scrotum or haematoma in the tunic. Ultrasound imaging was performed in 20 patients, showed a contusion of the testicle in five cases, haematoma of the scrotum in ten cases and albuginal rupture in two cases. Thirty patients underwent surgical repair. Five patients underwent orchidectomy. Atrophy of the testis occurred in two patients who underwent resection of the pulp and two others who had haematoma of the haematocele.
