Abstract

Pneumoscrotum is a rare pathology that has received little attention in the literature, although a few cases have been presented with different causes. Etiological factors that can cause pneumoscrotum include the lungs, retroperitoneal sources, surgical procedures or infections with microorganisms producing gas. A 57-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department following a motorcycle accident. He had chest excoriations and a painless crepitant scrotum. In conclusion, subcutaneous emphysema of the scrotum due to traumatic pneumothorax is not an urgent condition and assessment should be supportive with intervention directed at the etiology

Özet

Pnömoskrotum literatürde az ilgi gösterilmiş nadir bir patolojidir ve değişik nedenlerle ilişkilendirilmiş az sayıda olgu sunumu mevcuttur. Pnömoskrotuma neden olabilecek etiyolojik faktörler; akciğerler, retroperitoneal kaynaklı cerrahi işlemler ya da gaz üretimi yapabilen mikroorganizmalar ile oluşan enfeksiyonları kapsamaktadır. Motorsiklet kazası sonucu gelişen ağrı ve nefes darlığı şikayetleri ile müracat eden 57 yaşında erkek hasta acil serviste değerlendirildi.Yapılan fizik muayenede sağ kot fraktürüne bağlı gelişen yaygın cilt altı amfizemi ile birlikte sağ testiste ağrısız krepitasyon hali mevcuttu. Sonuç olarak pnömothoraks’a sekonder gelişen pnömoskrotum acil bir durum değildir ve yapılacak olan tedavi etyolojik nedene yönelik olmalıdır.
