Schönlein-Henoch purple is a systemic vasculitis due to hypersensitivity. It is typical of childhood and more unusual in adults. The etiology is unknown. It is identified by the presence of skin purpura, joint involvement, abdominal colic pain and quite often renal involvement (nephropathy). Urological manifestations are uncommon and include: haematuria, scrotal swelling, cord haematoma, signs and symptoms mimicking cord or hydatid torsion, testicular pain due to intratesticular segmented infarction, painful ecchymotic induration of the scrotum, or testicular necrosis. Contribution of one case of Schönlein-Henoch purpura developed in adulthood with scrotal-perineal haematoma associated to skin purpura and abdominal colic pain in a 75-year old patient.
