| Abstrakt: | Traumatic dislocation of testis (TDT) is an uncommon event. During trauma, the cremasteric reflex can forcefully retract the testis out of the scrotal sac saving the testis from the injury. However, associated injuries in the form of skin degloving, penile avulsion, and amputation can be present. Early surgical intervention to locate and deposit the displaced testis to the scrotal sac is essential. We present a case of a 33-year-old man with bilateral congenital cryptorchidism who suffered blunt trauma to his genitalia following a road traffic injury. On presentation, based on a well-developed scrotum, it looked like a case of TDT. However, good history along with detailed physical and radiological evaluation helped us reach the correct diagnosis. TDT must be suspected in a case of blunt trauma to the genitalia when the scrotal sac (well-developed) is empty. This case report highlights the importance of detailed clinical and radiological evaluation in such cases. Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest.
