ABSTRACT
The children presenting with acute scrotum have many diseases in differential diagnosis and testicular torsion in undescended testis and normal testis is an important consideration. Torsion of the testis, or more correctly, torsion of the spermatic cord, is a surgical emergency because it causes strangulation of gonadal blood supply with subsequent testicular necrosis and atrophy. In most of cases history and physical examination are sufficient to make an accurate diagnosis. While other causes may require simple treatment but torsion require immediate exploration to save the testis. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is essential to help such children
