Abstract
Three infants presented with bluish discoloration and swelling of the scrot um with no history of scrotal trauma. Sonography revealed unilateral hemato celes in 2 cases and bilateral hematoceles in the third. All 3 infants had intact testes. The communicating hematoceles were the result of hemoperiton eum due to splanchnic hematoma. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
