The Etiology of Acute Scrotal Swelling on Surgical Exploration among Children and Adolescents in Jahra

Bilateral testicular rupture is rare. Incidence is highest in the 16–20 age group. There are no specific signs or symptoms which make a differential diagnosis between testicular rupture and scrotal traumas possible. Examination at Doppler and ultrasonography and early surgical exploration provide early diagnosis, which is necessary to safeguard fertility. We report one case of bilateral orchialgia, following a diving episode. Ultrasound examination of the scrotum showed bilateral multiple areas of altered echogenicity of the testicular parenchyma and an intact tunica albuginea. During surgery bilateral multiple areas of haemorrhagic necrosis were drained. Outpatient examination one month after leaving the hospital was normal. At 3 and 6 months the results of seminal examination were within normal limits according to the parameters established by the WHO.

Scrotal Swelling

Amyand’s hernia is a rare clinical entity in which the vermiform appendix is present within the inguinal hernia sac. Here, we report a 5-day-old neonate with dysmorphic features referred to us with a tender irreducible right inguino-scrotal swelling. Surgical exploration showed gangrenous appendix with a peri-appendicular abscess in the inguinal hernia sac. Appendectomy and right herniotomy was performed.

Scrotal Swelling

Occurrence of a scrotal mass in a newborn or young child often requires additional evaluation, the extent of which depends on the clinical scenario. We present a case of a newborn infant that presented with non-tender bilateral scrotal swelling that was prenatally suspected to be meconium periorchitis, a diagnosis confirmed by postnatal surgical exploration. Understanding the sonographic characteristics associated with meconium periorchitis help to allow for appropriate management of the patient and guide surgical evaluation.

Experience Difficulty

Microcomputers offer the potential for increasing the effectiveness of language intervention for school-age children and adolescents who have language-learning disabilities. One promising application is in the treatment of students who experience difficulty comprehending figurative expressions, an aspect of language that occurs frequently in both spoken and written contexts. Although software is available to teach figurative language to children and adolescents, it is our feeling that improvements are needed in the existing programs. Software should be reviewed carefully before it is used with students, just as standardized tests and other clinical and educational materials are routinely scrutinized before use. In this article, four microcomputer programs are described and evaluated. Suggestions are then offered for the development of new types of software to teach figurative language.
