| Zusammenfassung: | Traumatic rupture of the testis is rare because of the protection afforded by surrounding structures. Moreover, it is difficult to accurately diagnose preoperatively. A 17-year-old man was referred to our department with the complaint of painful swelling of the left testis after being hit by a basketball. Although ultrasonography and computed tomography did not reveal the rupture of the tunica albuginea, we preoperatively diagnosed the rupture of the left testis by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We repaired the tunica albuginea and preserved the left testis. In this report, the advantages of MRI for preoperative diagnosis of traumatic rupture of the testis are discussed. In addition, previous cases with traumatic rupture of the testis in the Japanese literature are also reviewed |
