[Neonatal testicular torsion]. 1986

J F Blanc, and H Dodat, and L David, and P Levrat, and B Salle

Twenty-six cases of neonatal torsion of spermatic cord were studied and compared to 171 cases reported in the literature. In a few cases, the torsion was antenatal and this may explain some absent testes. Diagnosis is sometimes difficult to make; symptoms were comparable to those in other disorders: peritoneo-vaginal tunnel, testicular inflammation or testicular tumor. In these cases, surgery can make the exact diagnosis although it cannot save the testis even if it is performed early.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D013086 Spermatic Cord Torsion The twisting of the SPERMATIC CORD due to an anatomical abnormality that left the TESTIS mobile and dangling in the SCROTUM. The initial effect of testicular torsion is obstruction of venous return. Depending on the duration and degree of cord rotation, testicular symptoms range from EDEMA to interrupted arterial flow and testicular pain. If blood flow to testis is absent for 4 to 6 h, SPERMATOGENESIS may be permanently lost.
