Neonatal testicular infarction and polycythemia.
Torsion has been observed in only 50 per cent of the reported cases of neonatal testicular infarction. We report a neonate in whom polycythemia and unilateral testicular infarction were present at birth. Although cause and effect are discussed additional reports are needed to confirm whether in utero testicular infarction was the result of in utero polycythemia.
