Resumen
CUERVO, José L. et al. Torsión testicular bilateral y sincrónica en un recién nacido: Caso clínico. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2007, vol.105, n.3, pp.241-244. ISSN 0325-0075.
Perinatal testicular torsion defined as testicular torsion ocurring prenatally and/or within the first 30 days postnatally, is a rare entity and generally affects one of the testis. As the majority of cases occur during the prenatal period, the rate of testicular loss is very high. Bilateral testicular torsion, synchronous or asynchronous, occurs more rarely and its existence should alert the neonatal team, about the possibility of contralateral testicular torsion in every newborn that has suffered unilateral testicular torsion. We report a new case of bilateral synchronous testicular torsion in a newborn and propose principles of management.
