Abstract:
A 17-year-old patient with acute testicular pain had no blood flow observed on scrotal ultrasound Doppler on either side, suggestive of bilateral torsion. The patient underwent immediate scrotal surgical exploration, and a numerical anomaly was observed during surgery-there were two testicles on each side, and all four exhibited torsion. After detorsion, circulation was recovered, and three of four testicles were kept. One dystrophic testis was removed.
