[Neonatal testicular torsion].
Twenty-six cases of neonatal torsion of spermatic cord were studied and compared to 171 cases reported in the literature. In a few cases, the torsion was antenatal and this may explain some absent testes. Diagnosis is sometimes difficult to make; symptoms were comparable to those in other disorders: peritoneo-vaginal tunnel, testicular inflammation or testicular tumor. In these cases, surgery can make the exact diagnosis although it cannot save the testis even if it is performed early.
