[Torsion of the hydatid of Morgagni]

The authors present 6 cases of torsion of Morgagni's hydatid treated in the Emergency Urology Department over a two-year period. They stress the importance of the clinical diagnosis, as well as the differential diagnosis with other "acute, testicular bag" processes, in particular with funicular torsion. Surgical treatment is the only way of overcoming the pain, confirming the diagnosis and preventing the risk of secondary, testicular atrophy.
