Abstract


We present two clinical cases of testicular torsion which attended our primary healthcare center within a short period of 2 months. These were a 14-year-old teenage boy, and a 36-year-old male. Both cases had rather atypical features and unfortunately, both had to undergo orchiectomy due to delayed presentation. We will also review relevant literature to elucidate the findings of our cases in light of available evidence. Our aim is to highlight the utmost significance of clinician’s alertness to this urgent diagnosis in patients presenting with acute scrotum and swift surgical intervention in an attempt to salvage a functioning testis.

Key words. Testicular, Torsion, bell clapper deformity, orchidectomy
