Abstract
- Synchronous bilateral testicular torsion in the neonate, although very rare, is being reported with increasing frequency. It is usually extravaginal and occurs either in utero or in the several days or weeks of life before the testicular tunics are firmly attached to the scrotum. Controversy exists concerning the urgency of exploration and removal of necrotic testis since some reports suggest that the interstitial tissue may survive and reduce the need for future androgenic replacement therapy. We report a case of synchronous bilateral neonatal testicular torsion in a full term. We have adopted a policy of prompt exploration with bilateral orchiectomy.
