Pneumoscrotum is a rare clinical condition that might be a secondary of another serious, life-threatening condition. In pneumoscrotum, the scrotum enlarged due to the presence of air in the scrotal sac, either in the subcutaneous tissue or tunica vaginalis. We report a 40-year-old male presented to the emergency room, with a shortness of breath. From the examination, the patient was diagnosed with left pneumothorax and performed Water Sealed Drainage (WSD) on the left hemithorax. After the installation of WSD, pneumoscrotum was obtained and conservative treatment was performed in the patient to treat the pneumoscrotum.
阴囊积气是一种罕见的临床病症,可能是另一种严重的、危及生命的病症的继发性表现。在阴囊积气中,阴囊因阴囊腔内存在空气而肿大,空气可存在于皮下组织或鞘膜腔内。我们报告一名40岁男性因呼吸急促就诊于急诊室。经检查,该患者被诊断为左侧气胸,并对左侧胸腔进行了胸腔闭式引流术(WSD)。在安装WSD后,出现了阴囊积气,遂对该患者进行保守治疗以处理阴囊积气。
