N2  - Animal bites to the scrotum are rare, but potentially serious. In the light of a personal case, the authors discuss the management of these lesions. An animal bite comprises a triple infectious risk: bacterial, tetanus and rabies. Surgical exploration is indicated for assessment of the structures involved and debridement. The morbidity is related to the severity of the bite and the waiting time before consultation, and complications are rare. Orchidectomy is sometimes necessary, as in the case reported here, and the patient must be warned about this possibility. Antibiotic therapy is empirical: tetracycline and anti-anaerobe antibiotic. Rabies and tetanus prophylaxis must be performed according to vaccine guidelines.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>
