Abstract
Testicular torsion is well-known urologic emergency. It warrants urgent diagnosis and surgical intervention for successful outcomes. The incidence of undescended testis in new born is 2%-8% and reduces to <1% by 1 year of age. In majority of cases, it is located in inguinal canal. Though undescended testis is a known risk factor for testicular torsion, there are limited cases reports in the literature. Testicular torsion in undescended testis is difficult to diagnose due to vague symptoms and absence of testicular signs. We report a unique case of testicular torsion in an inguinal undescended testis in a 14-year young male.
