Case ReportsBilateral testicular rupture: report of a case with an unusual presentation.
A case of bilateral testicular rupture after blunt trauma is presented. It is unusual in that the patient presented with a unilateral retractile testis with pain. ⋯ Early exploration of all blunt trauma to the scrotum and testis is advocated. The surgical management of the ruptured testis is reviewed with regard to orchiectomy, primary closure, closure with portion of tunica vaginalis and decompression of the contused testis.

The urologist may be involved in the initial evaluation of a child with anuria. In our experience the most common cause of anuria in neonates was perinatal hypoxia and in older children it was the hemolytic uremic syndrome. Obstructive uropathy as a cause of anuria in infants and children appears to be uncommon.
