Case report shows successful testicular preservation after delayed diagnosis in a 15-year-old male.
Testicular torsion around the spermatic cord causes arterial and venous occlusion, which can lead to swelling, ischemia, and eventually necrosis of the testicle. It is a urologic emergency that requires a time-dependent diagnosis to prevent testicular loss. This is a case report of an atypical presentation of a 15-year-old male with a 5-day history of testicular torsion, that resulted in preservation of testes viability immediately after detorsion and at 4-week follow-up.
