ABSTRACT
Torsion of an intraabdominal testis is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. With a history of undescended testis, it is difficult to establish the diagnosis and to exclude other emergency abdominal conditions without a laparotomy. The following case report illustrates the usefulness of laparoscopy as a diagnostic as well as a therapeutic tool in such a condition.
