Semiological value of painful sensitivity of the testis in spinal cord injuries

Abstract

About 85 cases of spinal cord male injured patients; the authors bring their experience of the painful sensitivity of the testis by squeezing the gland. This sign has a semiological value about the topography and the level of complete and incomplete cord syndromes. It is of no value for the testicular fertility. The rehabilitation of neurological bladders must take this sign into account so as to appreciate the type of micturition. © 1978, International Spinal Cord Society. All rights reserved.
