Abstract: Background: An oscillating testis is defined as a paroxysmal testicular ascension under the effect of cremaster muscle tone; genitourinary injury remains a rare event in this case. Case presentation: We report here the case of 31-year-old patient with history of left retractile testis who was admitted in our department one hour after a road traffic collision, with scrotal point of impact. The clinical examination notes an empty left hemiscrotum with painful palpation of the left testicle at the level of the inguinal region. Surgical exploration found a testicle in the inguinal position with approximately 30% of the testicular pulp exteriorized. Conclusion: Rapid management of trauma on retractile testis spares the testicle from orchiectomy.
