Prenatal torsion of testis is an extremely rare surgical emergency with controversial management guidelines. Controversy exists not only with regard to timing and necessity of exploration but also whether or not to fix the contralateral testis as there is no predisposing anatomical defect. Though not life-threatening, it risks fertility of an otherwise healthy newborn male if overlooked. We des...

testicular scintigraphy has been well validated in the evaluation of patients with suspected testicular torsion and provides an accurate evaluation of testicular perfusion at the lime of imaging. however, the presence of normal or increased perfusion to the testis does not definitively exclude the necessity for surgical intervention. a case of intermittent testicular torsion, with a review of t...

AIM To evaluate the immunohistopathological changes in the contralateral testis of rats after an experimental spermatic cord torsion. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats of 45-50 days old were subjected to a 720 degree unilateral spermatic cord torsion for 10, 30 and 80 days (experimental group, E), respectively or sham operation (control group, C). Histopathology of the contralateral testis as ...

Testicular torsion is a common surgical emergency of adolescent males presenting with sudden onset of intense scrotal pain. Anatomically testicular torsion follows a congenital anomaly in predisposed individuals that allows the testis to rotate, twisting the spermatic cord, resulting in loss of blood supply and eventual testicular necrosis. The most common underlying cause is a congenital malfo...

Introduction: In general surgery, the acute scrotum is equivalent to abdomen, and any delay in treatment may be risky for testis functions, especially children. Among scrotal etiologies, spermatic cord cyst or hydrocele could misleading. Spermatic cysts can evoke long-term pain with exacerbation. Case Presentation: Here we report a boy aged 14 years old referring emergency clinic complaint of h...
