ABSTRACT
We report a case of testicular torsion in an 8-year-old who was referred to our hospital for right groin pain. He was diagnosed with right retractile testis during a 12-month check-up. However, instead of performing orchiopexy, he was placed under observation until the age of 5, after which he did not seek medical attention. Physical examination revealed swelling and tenderness in the right inguinal region and no palpable testis in the right scrotum. Ultrasound and computed tomography revealed right testicular torsion, and emergency surgery was performed. Intraoperative findings revealed a dark and ischemic testis that was twisted at 180°in the right inguinal region. There was no improvement in blood flow even after the testicular torsion was released; therefore, right orchidectomy with left orchiopexy was performed. Although the incidence of testicular torsion is higher in patients with an undescended testis than in those with a normally positioned scrotal position testis, reports of testicular torsion associated with a retractile testis are rare.
