A case of inguinal torsion of an undescended testis in a child
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 12-year-old boy was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of repetitive right lower acute abdominal pain and inguinal swelling for 7-hours. Physical examination found no palpable testis in the right scrotum and a painful mass of 3.0 x 2.5 centimeters in the right groin. Doppler ultrasonography revealed it without flow signals in the inguinal canal. Immediate surgical explorations confirmed a 720 -degree clockwise rotation of right testis, with dark surface. After receiving manual detorsion and warming, the testis was spared. Then bilateral orchidopexy was performed. The post-operative diagnosis was torsion of right undescended testis with hemorrhagic infarction. Careful physical examination and early surgical intervention may thus be strongly recommended in cases of suspected testicular torsion with cryptorchidism.
