Abstract: Pneumoscrotum is a very rare condition that results in swelling of the scrotum, whose aetiology can be attributed to air collection from the lungs or retroperitoneal structures, surgical interventions and gas-producing infectious organisms.We are reporting a case of pneumoscrotum that developed in a 28-year-old male patient after undergoing hip arthroscopy.5 days after the hip arthroscopy, the patient was admitted following swelling in the left scrotum.Air was detected in the retroperitoneum, left anterior abdominal wall, left groin, and left scrotum.The patient was diagnosed with a left pneumoscrotum.This is the only reported pneumoscrotum reported in literature seen after hip arthroscopy.
