Objective:
We present the clinical case of an intrauterine testicular torsion.
Methods/Results:
Three days old boy complaining of testicular pain and scrotum enlargement with the diagnosis of intrauterine testicular torsion. Left testicular extirpation and right fixation were performed.
Conclusions:
We analyze cases reported, clinical diagnosis and therapeutic options. Testicular torsion can be misdiagnosed with other pathologies like tumors, testicular infarctions, hydrocele, etc. We should always consider it a surgical emergency. The future fertility of the patient can be compromised.
