CONTEXT: Bluish discoloration and swelling of the scrotum in newborns can arise from a number of diseases, including torsion of the testes, orchitis, scrotal or testicular edema, hydrocele, inguinal hernia, meconium peritonitis, hematocele, testicular tumor and traumatic hematoma. Forty-two cases of scrotal abnormalities as signs of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage were found in the literature. CASE REPORT: We present a case of scrotal hematoma due to adrenal hemorrhage in a newborn. Conservative treatment with clinical follow-up was adopted, with complete resolution within 10 days. The possible differential diagnoses are reviewed and discussed.

Unilateral facet dislocation at the subaxial cervical spine (C3–7) in children younger than 8 years of age is rare. The authors describe a surgical approach for irreducible subaxial cervical unilateral facet dislocation (SCUFD) at C3–4 in a 5-year-old boy and present a literature review. A dorsal unilateral approach was applied, and a biodegradable plate was used for postreduction fixation without fusion after failed conservative treatment. There was complete resolution of symptoms and restored cervical stability. Two years after surgery, the patient had recovered range of motion in C3–4. In selected cases of cervical spine injury in young children, a biodegradable plate can maintain reduction until healing occurs, obviate the need to remove an implant, and recover the motion of the injured segment.

Brucellosis is a multi-organ infectious disease that can cause genitourinary manifestations. The most common genitourinary manifestation is orchitis; however, intratesticular abscesses are a rare complication. Although surgery is the standard treatment for intratesticular abscesses, medical therapy alone can be successful. We report the case of a 36-year-old man with multiple testicular abscesses caused by relapse of systemic brucellosis. The patient presented after a history of treated systemic brucellosis with left testicular swelling and pain. An ultrasound showed multiple small testicular abscesses, and the repeat diluted brucella titer demonstrated the causative pathogen. The patient was successfully treated with 3 months of oral targeted antibiotics, with no need for drainage or orchiectomy.
