ABSTRACT
Answer: (c) This patient is likely to have extravaginal testicular torsion. Approximately 10% of all testicular torsion occurs in newborns. In 70% of these patients, torsion occurs prenatally. Testicular torsion in newborns occurs extravaginally, where the entire spermatic cord twists en masse. Salvage of the torsed testis is uncommon and the role of contralateral orchidopexy is controversial.
