We report on 3 patients with recurrent episodes of severe testicular pain but who were pain-free at evaluation. All 3 patients were found to have a horizontal lie of the symptomatic testicle and a normal vertical axis in the contralateral asymptomatic testicle. Scrotal exploration revealed a bell-clapper deformity in all 3 patients. A history of recurrent scrotal pain and horizontal testicular lie, even in the absence of pain at the time of physical examination, is a strong indication for exploration and bilateral testicular fixation. © 1991 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byHayn M, Herz D, Bellinger M and Schneck F (2008) Intermittent Torsion of the Spermatic Cord Portends an Increased Risk of Acute Testicular InfarctionJournal of Urology, VOL. 180, NO. 4S, (1729-1732), Online publication date: 1-Oct-2008.EATON S, CENDRON M, ESTRADA C, BAUER S, BORER J, CILENTO B, DIAMOND D, RETIK A and PETERS C (2018) INTERMITTENT TESTICULAR TORSION: DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES AND MANAGEMENT OUTCOMESJournal of Urology, VOL. 174, NO. 4 Part 2, (1532-1535), Online publication date: 1-Oct-2005.BLUMBERG J, WHITE B, KHATI N and ANDRAWIS R (2018) INTERMITTENT TESTICULAR TORSION IN A 58-YEAR-OLD MANJournal of Urology, VOL. 172, NO. 5, (1886-1886), Online publication date: 1-Nov-2004.
