Isolated extratesticular hematoma from intraoperative positioning during lumbar spinal surgery.

Scrotal injury is present in less than 1% of all trauma-related injuries. Traumatic injuries of the scrotum are most commonly seen in penetrating or blunt injury but may also occur after iatrogenic causes such as in the intraoperative setting. We report a case of an isolated extratesticular hematoma incurred after scrotal trauma from prone intraoperative positioning during lumbar spinal surgery.

Age-stratified Patterns of Thymic Involution on Multidetector CT.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to better assess the prevalence and appearance of thymic tissue in adults stratified by age using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in order to prevent misinterpretation of normal thymic tissue as pathology.

Materials And Methods: This study examined the CT appearance of the thymus in 597 trauma patients aged 30 to 69 years (M=48.0 y, SD=11.
