Familial testicular torsion in siblings of different age groups: A case report

The acute scrotum (AS) is one of the urologic emergencies, where testicular torsion (TT) represents 20–30% of it. In the peri-puberty period, TT is not uncommon, yet there are very few reports of familial testicular torsion worldwide. This case report highlights a man who experienced TT and had a fa...

description The acute scrotum (AS) is one of the urologic emergencies, where testicular torsion (TT) represents 20–30% of it. In the peri-puberty period, TT is not uncommon, yet there are very few reports of familial testicular torsion worldwide. This case report highlights a man who experienced TT and had a family history of TT. TT should be considered one of the leading causes of AS. We avoid any delay in the diagnosis of TT, where the signs, symptoms, family history of TT, physical examination, and color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) are helpful in earlier diagnosis and management to salvage the twisted testicle.
