description Background: Neonatal scrotal hematoma is considered a surgical emergency in the neonatal period. Up to recently, immediate surgical exploration was considered the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment in the underlying causes. Objective: In this article, we present a case of idiopathic scrotal hematoma in a neonate. Method: It was managed conservatively with clinical and ultrasonographic follow-up. Result: The hematoma had gradually subsided, and any surgical intervention was avoided to the neonate. Conclusion: With good clinical and imaging follow-up, some cases could be managed nonoperatively.
