Post-traumatic testicular torsion

Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg. 2003 Jan;9(1):70-1.

Abstract

Torsion of the testis is the most common urological emergency and should be included in the differential diagnosis of scrotal trauma. Clinical suspicion of testicular torsion is a serious indication for prompt surgical exploration of post-traumatic acute scrotum. A case of post-traumatic testicular torsion, which resulted in orchiectomy, is presented and literature is reviewed.
