    Abstract

    A case of acute bilateral testicular torsion in the adolescent is reported. This case reaffirms the need to perform bilateral scrotal exploration in cases of suspected torsion. Although it represents an extreme rarity, delay in exploration may have resulted in bilateral orchiectomy. The case also appears to be another example of intermittent testicular pain as a harbinger of impending torsion in a patient with the bell clapper deformity. Perhaps a more aggressive approach should be taken to explore patients surgically who present with intermittent scrotal pain.
