Abstract:
Testicular torsion (TT) is an acute urological emergency where the testicle twists around its axis, resulting in vascular compromise. Without immediate surgical intervention, it can result in testicular necrosis. Bilateral TT is rare and accounts for under 2% of TT cases. We present a case of an adolescent who showed unilateral symptoms of TT. On surgical exploration, TT was found bilaterally as well as »bell clapper deformity«. Orchiopexy was performed bilaterally. This case suggests that Orchiopexy should only be performed after a proper examination of both testicles.
