Abstract

Bluish discoloration and swelling of the scrotum in newborns can arise from many disorders, including torsion of the testes, orchitis, hydrocele, inguinal hernia, hematocele, testicular tumor, and trauma. Scrotal hematoma, a rare complication of adrenal hemorrhage, may mimic testicular torsion, and a surgical approach is usually performed. Here, we present a case of scrotal hematoma determined during surgery for probable testis torsion. Ipsilateral adrenal hemorrhage was shown by abdominal ultrasonography during further evaluation. Adrenal and scrotal hemorrhage association should be kept in mind in acute testis pathologies in the newborn period.

Keywords: testis torsiyonu, skrotal kanama, adrenal kanama.
