Abstract

Testicular rupture is a rare entity in children and adolescents. This is due to the smaller size of the testicles in these patients, the well-protected location of the testicles, and the high degree of mobility of these organs. We present 4 cases of testicular rupture occurring in preadolescent and adolescent boys over an 11-month period in a tertiary care pediatric emergency department.
