| Extravaginal testicular torsion is known to be the predominant mechanism of the torsion
in fetuses and neonates. In this torsion, twisting of the spermatic cord occurs outside
the sac of the tunica vaginalis in the scrotum. Herein, we describe the sonographic
findings of an extravaginal testicular torsion in a newborn baby who presented with
a hard scrotal mass. Gray-scale ultrasound (US) showed hypoechoic linear striations
in the testis with a thick hyperechoic peritesticular rim. Surgical exploration revealed
an extravaginally twisted testis. |
