Abstract
A personal series of 17 cases of torsion of the testis collected over a 3½-year period is reviewed. The incidence is seen to be low in the general population but misdiagnosis is common in the acute condition. The relevant embryology, histology, and signs and symptoms of the condition are described. A number of the patients had unilateral testicular atrophy following a previously misdiagnosed torsion years earlier. Their subsequent management is described. The differential diagnosis is briefly mentioned.
