Neonatal Testicular Torsion; a Review Article
Riaz-Ul-haq, Muhammad; Mahdi, Diaa Eldin Abdelhamid & Elhassan, Elbagir Uthman
Abstract
Neonatal testicular torsion, also known as perinatal testicular torsion is a subject of debate among surgeons.
Neonatal testicular torsion either intrauterine or postnatal results into extravaginal torsion which is a
different entity than intravaginal type but has the same devastating consequences if not diagnosed and
managed well in time. Testicular torsion results into acute ischemia with its resultant sequelae such as
abnormality of testicular function and fertility. Urgent surgical exploration and fixation of the other testis are
the key points in the management. General anesthesia is not a contraindication for exploration as thought
before. Diagnosis and controversies on management of testicular torsion are discussed in this review.
