This case reaffirms the need to perform bilateral scrotal exploration in cases of suspected torsion. Although it represents an extreme rarity, delay in exploration may have resulted in bilateral orchiectomy. The case also appears to be another example of intermittent testicular pain as a harbinger of impending torsion in a patient with the bell clapper deformity. Perhaps a more aggressive approach should be taken to explore patients surgically who present with intermittent scrotal pain. © 1992 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 148Issue 1July 1992Page: 134 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 1992 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.Keywordsspermatic cord torsiontestisadolescent medicineMetricsAuthor Information Bruce N.
