In the neonate however, the clinical presentation differs in that there is usually no pain or irritability, and the only findings initially maybe an enlarged testis, or a hard painless testicular mass and therefore diagnosis and consequent management may be delayed. The reported annual incidence of testicular torsion is 1:4000 males below the age of 25 years (1). In contrast, neonatal testicular torsion is rare, comprising10 to 12% of all torsions (2, 3). To our knowledge, less than 200 cases have been reported (4). We describe the clinical features and out come in two neonates with testicular torsion who presented over a period of two months, and review published reports about, yet potentially serious condition.  ISSN : 3185-4152  Journal Name : Saudi J Obst Gynecol  Volume : 30  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 2002 AH 2002 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Wednesday, March 3, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email جمانة الاعمى Al-Aama, Jumana Researcher Doctorate   سعد الصاعدي saadi, Saad Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  25828.doc doc   Back To Researches Page
