Prenatal diagnosis of testicular torsion

Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol. 1998 Apr;11(4):286-8. doi: 10.1046/j.1469-0705.1998.11040286.x.

Abstract

A case of the prenatal diagnosis of testicular torsion at 39 weeks' gestation is presented. The affected testicle was observed as a small rounded area of hypoechogenicity with a peripheral echogenic ring without hydrocele. The appearance was suggestive of the chronic phase of testicular torsion. The neonatal genital exploration confirmed the diagnosis.
