Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Pneumoscrotum is a critical, physical finding that may indicate significant morbidity and mortality. Accumulation of gas in the scrotum can be primary or secondary. OBJECTIVE: This paper discusses rapid diagnosis and treatment options. MATERIAL AND METHODS: PubMed searches for pneumoscrotum, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment. RESULTS: We review the historical perspective, classification, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment options of pneumoscrotum, as well as the presentation of pneumoscrotum in neonates/infants. CONCLUSION: It is crucial to diagnose the etiology pneumoscrotum and designing a treatment option based off that.
