title: Prenatal diagnosis of testicular torsion.
abstract: A case of the prenatal diagnosis of testicular torsion at 39 weeks' gestation is presented. The affected testicle was observed as a small rounded area of hypoechogenicity with a peripheral echogenic ring without hydrocele. The appearance was suggestive of the chronic phase of testicular torsion. The neonatal genital exploration confirmed the diagnosis.
