Abstract

Three infants presented with bluish discoloration and swelling of the scrotum with no history of scrotal trauma. Sonography revealed unilateral hematoceles in 2 cases and bilateral hematoceles in the third. All 3 infants had intact testes. The communicating hematoceles were the result of hemoperitoneum due to splanchnic hematoma.
