Sonographic Assessment of a Ruptured Testicle From a Gunshot Wound: A Case Study
High-resolution sonography is a valuable imaging technique to evaluate scrotal trauma. Scrotal injuries can be caused by both blunt and penetrating forces, causing harm to the testicles and other scrotal contents. This case study follows the diagnosis of a gunshot victim’s testicular injury and how the use of sonography plays a major role in both the diagnosis and surveillance of testicular rupture. The initial sonogram identified mild enlargement and an irregularity of the right testicle. Hemorrhage surrounding the right testicle, soft tissue emphysema, scrotal wall edema, and some echogenic debris and/or a foreign body in the scrotum were also identified. Testicular rupture is a rare but serious injury and prompt medical attention is necessary in such cases to reduce long-term complications, including, but not limited to, infection, disability, and loss of the testicle.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JDMS) is the official journal of the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography and publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts aimed at the translational use of ultrasound for diagnosis, intervention, and other clinical applications. The JDMS provides research, clinical, and educational content for all specialties including but not limited to abdominal, women’s health, pediatric, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal sonography. The journal’s scope may also include research on instrumentation, physics, ergonomics, technical advancements, education, and professional issues in the field of sonography. Types of submissions accepted by the JDMS are Original Research, Literature Review, Case Studies, Symposia (related to education, policy, technology, or professional issues), and Letters to the Editor.
