Early exploration in perinatal torsion of the spermatic cord: a case report

Abstract

Perinatal testicular torsion is a rare condition presenting with signs of an acute scrotum. Review of the literature indicates that there is controversy about optimal management, particularly as regards the risks and the benefits of immediate versus delayed surgical treatment. We report a case that was treated by immediate surgical intervention.
