title: [Intrauterine testicular torsion].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We present the clinical case of an intrauterine testicular torsion.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three days old boy complaining of testicular pain and scrotum enlargement with the diagnosis of intrauterine testicular torsion. Left testicular extirpation and right fixation were performed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We analyze cases reported, clinical diagnosis and therapeutic options. Testicular torsion can be misdiagnosed with other pathologies like tumors, testicular infarctions, hydrocele, etc. We should always consider it a surgical emergency. The future fertility of the patient can be compromised.
