摘　　要：BACKGROUND Acute scrotal pain and swelling are common presentations in the emergency department.Urgent surgical intervention is justified in up to one-third of cases,whereas two-thirds of them should be treated conservatively.CASE SUMMARY We report a case of scrotal only strangulation in a child and review the available literature.CONCLUSION Due to its rarity,scrotal strangulation can be a diagnostic challenge.Skin ulceration and edema may well indicate the presence of a strangulation object.A high index of suspicion and appropriate physical examination,especially in patients with a mental disability or behavioral disorder,are key to early diagnosis and treatment.
