Abnormal high position of the testes in the scrotum, with abnormal transverse direction.Untreated testicular torsion leads to a hemorrhagic necrosis of the testicular tissue, since the venous supply is first compressed by the torsion of the spermatic cord. Furthermore, reflectory vasoconstriction can cause a contralateral testicular damage. Testicular torsion with subsequent ischemia destroys the blood-testis barrier and allows the formation of autoantibodies, which cause a contralateral testicular damage.

Contralateral Testicular Damage after Torsion Due to an incomplete torsion, the ischemic damage may significantly slower and testis preservation may be feasible after longer time intervals. With complete hemorrhagic necrosis, preservation of the testis is not rational. Ipsilateral Testicular Damage after TorsionДЄfter torsion of the testis with a complete disruption of testicular circulation, the testicular tissue is irreversibly damaged after 8 hours. Cremasteric contraction causes an rotational force to the testes and can induce testicular torsion, as also manipulation or testicular trauma may trigger a torsion. Testicular torsion is caused by an abnormal mobility of the testicle. Etiology and Pathophysiology of Testicular Torsion Causes of Testicular Torsion Testicular torsion is most frequent in children (before the second year of life) and adolescents (between 15вЂ“20 years of age).

Testicular torsion is possible at any time of life. Testicular torsion can be separated intro intravaginal torsion (torsion of the spermatic cord within the tunica vaginalis) and extravaginal torsion (torsion of the spermatic cord outside the tunica vaginalis). Testicular torsion is a mostly spontaneous torsion of the testicle around the spermatic cord with consecutive ischemia.
