| description | The association of testicular torsion and cerebral palsy is a well-known fact. But the infrequent presentation to emergency room makes the
clinician sceptical. Such a presentation often puzzles the residents regarding the diagnosis and the treatment. Here we present a case of
an adolescent boy aged with cerebral palsy 13 years with incessant crying and not feeding well for last 3days. Right inguinal region showed
a tender globular swelling with absence of testis in scrotum along with signs of septicaemia. The inguinal exploration was performed under general anaesthesia which revealed gangrenous right testis. Right orchidectomy and left orchidopexy was performed and the patient
recovered well. This case is reported for its complexity due to lack of reliable history, delayed presentation and associated comorbidities
posing challenges to the treating surgeons. |
