RESUMEN
The pathology of pneumoscrotum is rare and has been discussed seldom in the literature. Only few cases of pneumoscrotum secondary to traumatic pneumothorax have been reported. We report a case of a 32 year patient who presented in the emergency department after a road traffic accident. The patient on presentation had breathlessness with bruises on the right side of the chest, and a tense swelling of the scrotum associated with mild pain. Further investigations revealed pneumoscrotum caused by right sided pneumothorax. Pneumoscrotum itself is not an emergency situation but may be secondary to life threatning conditions. The condition is easy to diagnose and its management is conservative with intervention directed towards underlying pathology
