Acute scrotal pain is a true emergency that needs to be identified, diagnosed, and managed quickly to avoid any testicular tissue loss. In pediatric emergency, testicular torsion has been the most worrisome diagnosis that needs to be included or excluded as fast as possible. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has been reported to be a game changer. However, because testicular rupture is an extremely rare entity in the pediatric age group, there are limited reports about POCUS use in diagnosing the condition. We describe a case of a 4-year-old boy who presented with acute scrotal pain secondary to trauma 2 days previous, where POCUS was able to identify and diagnose testicular rupture in a timely fashion that facilitated management and intervention.

“…The average age of patients is 12.3 years old (2 days to 18 years old) [ 4 ]. Ours was 13 years old and Indra et al also reported a case of testicular trauma with rupture of the albuginea in a 13-year-old boy following a bicycle accident [ 6 ]. Three cardinal signs are found in testicular rupture: traumatic context, paroxysmal unilateral scrotal pain and scrotal swelling.…”
