| description | Testicular torsion (TT) is a urological emergency, which requires a time-sensitive approach to diagnosis and management. TT predominantly presents with severe, sudden onset, unilateral testicular pain in men under the age of 21.

This case demonstrates that medical professionals should have a high degree of clinical suspicion for men of all ages with unilateral scrotal pain. |
