Abstract:
Extravaginal neonatal testicular torsion, although it is rare, is being recognized with increasing frequency. Furthermore, bilateral neonatal torsion is very uncommon. Because of the seriousness of the outcome due to the risk of future anorchia, this condition that requires prompt recognition and careful decision making. We experienced a case in which the patient had bilateral neonatal testicular torsion and the patient showed bilateral necrotized testes during operation. However, the histopathologic findings during operation showed a small intact portion only in the left testis. Right orchiectomy and left orchiopexy were performed, and the left testis was saved. We report here on this case with a review of the literature.
