Bell Clapper Deformity is a congenital condition- gubemaculum, epididymis & testis don't anchor properly allowing testes to swing w/i scrotum & raise risk for twisting on spermatic cord. 12% of men lack development of the testes support structure with about 40% being bilateral as is seen with Bell Clapper Deformity.
