ABSTRACT
The role of emergent intervention in prenatal testicular torsion is controversial. We report a case of successful testicular salvage of incomplete prenatal torsion. A 1-day-old male infant presented with a bluish-hued scrotum at birth. Testicular ultrasonography demonstrated right testicular torsion with minimal peripheral blood flow. Scrotal exploration was performed, confirming extravaginal torsion; both testes underwent orchiopexy. Subsequent imaging demonstrated normal bilateral testes with good vascular flow. Although intervention of prenatal torsion has been debated, the present case represents prenatal torsion saved by intervention. We propose the presence of any blood flow suggests incomplete torsion and the potential for salvage.
