Question

A 12-year-old child presented with sudden severe onset of scrotal pain after a history of trauma 6 hours before. Intraoperative image is given. What is the likely diagnosis? 

• A. Torsion testis with gangrene
• B. Testicular hematoma
• C. Torsion testis
• D. Gangrene of testis

Hint:

Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency, and prompt intervention within 6 hours is crucial to save the testis from gangrene.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Testicular torsion is an emergency where the spermatic cord twists, cutting off blood supply to the testis. If left untreated, it can lead to testicular necrosis (gangrene). Intraoperative findings would typically show a dark, necrotic testis due to a lack of blood flow.
