“…Perinatal testicular torsion is usually unilateral, but in 11–21% of cases occurs bilaterally 5–8 . Bilateral perinatal torsion is usually synchronous when it occurs; asynchronous perinatal torsion is rarely reported 6,9–11 …”

We describe a recent case of perinatal testicular torsion at our institution. The presentation, management and outcome of perinatal testicular torsion are quite different to testicular torsion in the general paediatric population. The literature describes a variety of management options for perinatal testicular torsion and these are briefly reviewed. In cases of unilateral perinatal testicular torsin, there is controversy over whether surgery to fix the contralateral testis is required, and if so, the appropriate timing for the surgery. A good understanding of the issues unique to perinatal torsion will facilitate appropriate counseling of parents of affected neonates.

“…To date, 28 cases of bilateral intra‐uterine torsion of the testes have been reported, most being synchronous [ 5, 7–9, 12–16]. Although asynchronous bilateral neonatal torsion is rare, with only four cases reported, the exact incidence is difficult to estimate because of the progressive tendency to perform early contralateral orchidopexy.…”

“…Approximately 82% of testicular torsions observed in the first day after birth are actually intrauterine torsions [42]. These can be uni-or bilateral [48][49][50][51][52][53]19.4). Neonatal testicular torsion is associated with high-risk delivery, including breech presentation, high birth weight, trauma from prolonged and difficult labor, and multiparity [54].…”

Among the most frequent specimens at the pediatric surgical pathology bench, orchiectomy performed after testicular torsion deserves significant attention. Multiple implications, including fertility, legal complications, possibility of occult lesion, and others, need to be considered. Furthermore, torsion of testicular and other appendices represents common urological emergencies frequently encountered in surgical pathology. Here we present a review of testicular torsion and infarction, including theories about their pathogenesis and the appropriate handling by the diagnostic pathologist.
