Abstract

Traumatic testis dislocation is a rare condition that usually occurs after direct scrotal trauma. We present a case of a young boy who presented with painful inguinal swelling and absent bilateral testes following genital trauma. Torsion of the left testis was discovered during scrotal exploration. Early detection and surgical intervention are critical because it raises the risk of future malignancy, decreased fertility, and endocrine dysfunction.

Keywords: Traumatic bilateral, testicular, scrotal trauma
