Abstract

BACKGROUND: Testicular torsion is a time-sensitive urological emergency characterized by twisting of the spermatic cord, leading to ischaemia and, if untreated, necrosis. Young males under 25 are at the highest risk due to congenital defects like the Bell Clapper deformity. Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial. CASE PRESENTATION: A 30-year-old male presented with severe right testicular pain, and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in the Emergency Department confirmed torsion within a few minutes upon arrival to Emergency Department. Manual detorsion restored blood flow, confirmed by bedside Doppler imaging using POCUS within 15 min of arrival. The patient underwent successful bilateral orchidopexy. CONCLUSION: This case emphasizes the importance of early targeted emergency POCUS in recognizing and managing testicular torsion, ensuring optimal outcomes.
