Can a newborn have testicular torsion?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: I have heard of, but never seen a case of testicular tortion in a newborn. Scrotal discoloration and swelling on the affected side is described and may be evident at delivery. Some propose that the absence of one testicle in some newborns represents a tortion event during pregnancy.
