This investigation reveals unexpected pathologic evidence in perinatal testicular torsion, suggesting ischemia-reperfusion injury.
All testes had been damaged at least one week before surgery. There was no association of the sonographic with the histologic findings. The unexpected finding of viable tissue coexistent with necrosis and dystrophic calcifications supports an etiology of ischemia-reperfusion injury resulting from intermittent torsion.
