SpecialtyUrology

Pneumoscrotum is an uncommon ailment that presents as an enlarged scrotal sac. The buildup of gas or air in the scrotum causes the swelling.[1] Pneumoscrotum refers to two specific conditions: scrotal pneumatocele and scrotal emphysema with palpable crepitus.[2] Pneumoscrotum can arise from a variety of sources, including infections and the dispersal of gas or air from far-off organs or areas.[3]
