Testicular torsion (TT) occurring in the newborn period has been called neonatal
TT (NTT) or perinatal TT. Most of these are asymptomatic, occur prenatally,
and are difficult to diagnose. Almost all NTT are extravaginal. There is a lack
of consensus in the approach to management of this rare condition. An emergent
surgical exploration could salvage, the asymptomatic bilateral TT and prevent
asynchronous torsion. After a thorough review of the evidence, the conclusion
is that NTT should be managed like TT at any other age group, except that
nonoperative maneuvers may not be successful.
