Testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord twists, cutting off blood supply to the testis. It typically presents with sudden, severe scrotal pain and swelling. The affected testis may lie higher than normal and be tender to touch. Because prolonged ischemia can lead to permanent damage, it is considered a surgical emergency. Prompt detorsion can often save the testicle if treated early. Testicular Torsion Diagram - Chart - diagrams and charts with labels.
