Abstract:
We report 2 cases of intrauterine unilateral testicular torsion This experience reemphasizes the necessity of a careful and complete examination of the newborn immediate after delivery. The presence of a scrotal mass in a newborn that does not transilluminate represent trosion of the spermatic cord until proved otherwise, and demands immediate surgical intervention through an inguinal approach for accurate diagnosis and appropriate therapy.
