Testicular compartment syndrome requires timely diagnosis and intervention but may be challenging. We present a case discussing the presentation and management of testicular compartment syndrome following testicular trauma in an 11-year-old male. The patient presented 24 hours after testicular trauma from a kick with testicular enlargement and sharp pain. Ultrasound showed markedly decreased blood flow and a reactive hydrocele. Testis-sparing intervention included emergent tunica albuginea incision, debridement, and tunica vaginalis flap.
