title: Testicular torsion in spinal cord injury: a case report.
abstract: METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of testicular torsion in spinal cord injury (SCI).
  
  
  METHODS
  Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital in Turkey.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present the first case of testicular torsion in SCI along with its clinical presentation and follow-up results.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Testicular torsion is a rare condition. No case was reported in people with SCI so far. The main difficulty in the diagnosis is that the nociceptive pain is below the injury level and the acute condition could be overlooked.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Testicular torsion is an acute condition for which early diagnosis is critical in the treatment. The case we describe adds new pitfalls in the diagnosis of this rare condition in people with SCI from the perspective of nociceptive pain below the injury level.
