Testicular torsion; clinical diagnosis or imaging diagnosis?

ABSTRACT: Testicular torsion is the most common urosurgical emergency in infants, children, and young adolescents, resulting in irreversible ischemic injury within hours; hence demanding urgent surgical attention. It has a bimodal distribution with the highest incidence occurring after puberty, followed by the neonatal period peak. Though the imaging modalities are helpful in the diagnosis, nothing can supersede the clinical findings and judgment.
