ABSTRACT
Neonatal torsion accounts for 12 percent of all cases of childhood torsion. Neonatal torsion is almost always extravaginal.
There are a few reports of sequential contralateral torsion and there are reports of salvage of the testis, especially if the neonatal examination was normal. Therefore it has recently been proposed that urgent surgical exploration with contralateral testicular fixation should be undertaken.
