Abstract
AbstractAn incidental testicular torsion was discovered during orchiectomy of an approximately 4‐month‐old intact male kitten. His spermatic cord was twisted numerous times, which caused necrosis and swelling of the right teste. Despite these changes, the patient had no signs of pain or clinical signs typical of testicular torsion that is seen in other species. The owner of the kitten reported that the kitten was eating normally and did not show any signs of pain. The physical examination of the kitten did not reveal any tenderness upon palpation of the enlarged testicle. This case illustrates that testicular torsion is possible even in the absence of pain or discomfort in cats.
