Abstract

Torsion of an undescended testis is a surgical emergency whose frequency may be underestimated in the Pediatric population. Testicular torsion is the most serious cause of acute scrotum and may result in the loss of testicle. This event may occur even before the currently recommended age for surgery, which is at 6–9 months. The risk of torsion of UDT is understated. Testicular torsion in undescended testis is still diagnosed with delay which may affect testicular salvage Paediatricians should be educated about this complication and torsion should be included in the differential diagnosis when a boy with an empty scrotum presents with acute abdomen or red and tender swelling in the groin, as early detection and intervention can help salvage the testes.We present a rare case of torsion of undescended testes and its subsequent diagnosis and management.
