Testicular rupture (also called fractured testis) is a rip or tear in the tunica albuginea

(a layer of connective tissue covering the testicles) resulting in extrusion of the testicular contents. It is a rare complication of testicular trauma*. It may cause pain, scrotal swelling, nausea and vomiting(sometimes). Treatment consists of surgical exploration with repair of the defect.

*Trauma to the testes can cause severe pain, bruising, and/or swelling. In most cases, the testes?which are made of a spongy material?can absorb the shock of an injury without serious damage. A rare type of testicular trauma, called testicular rupture, occurs when the testicle receives a direct blow or is squeezed against the hard bones of the pelvis. This injury can cause blood to leak into the scrotum. In severe cases, surgery to repair the rupture?and thus save the testicle?may be necessary.
