SPERMATIC CORD TORSION WITH PRESERVED TESTIS PERFUSION: INITIAL ANATOMICAL OBSERVATIONS

Abstract

Testis perfusion can be maintained for a prolonged period in the presence of testicular torsion. Anatomical variability may account for differences in the duration of viability of the torsed testis. A high index of suspicion must be maintained to avoid missing the diagnosis of testicular torsion in these challenging cases.
