Abstract
Torsion of the penis as an isolated anomaly has rarely been reported. Six such cases seen in a pediatric urologic practice within a two and one-half-year span suggest that it is not as rare as has been hitherto suggested. The embryologic abnormality appears to be an isolated skin and dartos defect, since the torsion is completely remedied by simply freeing the penile shaft of its investing tissue. The ease of achieving a normal appearance would appear to justify its surgical correction.
