Idiopathic neonatal hemoperitoneum presented as scrotal hematoma: it’s a diagnostic challenge?

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic hemoperitoneum in the newborn is an entity very rarely encountered in clinical practice. CASE PRESENTATION: A case of scrotal hemorrhage (SH) associated with intrabdominal hemorrhaging and acute anemia is presented. Indications for early surgery included a massive scrotal hema...

description BACKGROUND: Idiopathic hemoperitoneum in the newborn is an entity very rarely encountered in clinical practice. CASE PRESENTATION: A case of scrotal hemorrhage (SH) associated with intrabdominal hemorrhaging and acute anemia is presented. Indications for early surgery included a massive scrotal hematoma, rapid onset of severe anemia, and unknown etiology. CONCLUSION: Clinical and diagnostic approaches in a case of neonatal scrotal hematoma should be given careful consideration as abdominal in origin, and a pre-operative computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance image (MRI) in addition to an abdominal/scrotal ultrasound should be added as part of the diagnostic work-up.
