    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Unilateral testicular torsion may occur asynchronously. Surgeons should explore and fix the other testis to prevent future complications in neonates with extravaginal torsion.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neonatal Urology

    Background:

    • Extravaginal testicular torsion is a rare neonatal emergency.
    • Current surgical management for unilateral cases lacks consensus regarding contralateral testicular exploration.

    Observation:

    • This case report details a neonate with unilateral extravaginal testicular torsion.
    • A review of prior literature identified a similar case presenting asynchronously.
    • These instances suggest that extravaginal torsion can occur as separate, non-simultaneous events.

    Findings:

    • Unilateral extravaginal testicular torsion can present as asynchronous events.
    • The asymptomatic testis may be at risk despite initial presentation of unilateral torsion.
    • Contralateral testicular fixation is recommended upon diagnosis of extravaginal torsion.

    Implications:

    • Surgical exploration and orchiopexy of the contralateral side are advised in cases of unilateral extravaginal testicular torsion.
    • This approach may reduce the risk of subsequent torsion in the asymptomatic testis.
    • Enhanced awareness of asynchronous torsion events can improve neonatal surgical outcomes.
