Abstract
An infant with a left hydrocele and nonpalpable right testis had an antenatal ultrasonogram showing a left hydrocele and normal right testis. When left inguinal hydrocelectomy was performed, extravaginal torsion of the spermatic cord and a normal testis was discovered. The right spermatic cord ended in a testicular remnant. We propose that this was a case of bilateral antenatal torsion that would have resulted in bilateral vanishing testis syndrome had the left hydrocele not prevented vascular compromise when antenatal testicular torsion occurred. This case gives visible support to the theory that testicular remnants are the result of antenatal torsion.
