Scrotal trauma is one of the rare causes of genital trauma. Although it is not usually fatal, it generates multiple implications in the social and psychological components, impacting the male reproductive and endocrine functions. Blunt trauma is the most frequent scrotal trauma; however, a non-negligible portion is due to penetrating injuries. Its diagnosis has been clinical and its management has been relegated to exploratory surgical interventions, accompanied by a high testicular loss rate. According to this scenario, timely diagnosis and proper treatment become the management pillars of this entity. Although multiple tools have been described to characterize scrotal lesions objectively, testicular Doppler ultrasound can cost-effectively provide relevant information so as to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions.

We report an extremely rare case of a patient with a total avulsion of the spermatic cord secondary to a blunt inguinal trauma. Doppler ultrasound was used to identify an absence of vascular flow and an indication for exploratory surgery. The retroperitoneum was accessed for hemostasis. Spermatic cord injury after blunt trauma is extremely rare but should be considered as a cause of an avascular testis after trauma.
