Abstract

We report the torsion of the inguinal undescended testis seen in two boys 9 and 11 years old. Orchiopexy was performed in each case. We discussed the preoperative diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Orchiectomies are still frequently performed, because the preoperative diagnosis is often delayed.
