Not usual: But if a lot of trauma, and then sitting around immobile, the combination could lead to dvt. The scrotal veins do connect to pelvic deep veins as part of that system.

Scrotal trauma/DVT: There are many causes for DVT but all causes revolve around 3 factors: stasis of blood, injury to the vessel wall and increased clotting risks. Scrotal trauma as an isolated condition should not be a cause of DVT.
