Among all the cases being diagnosed at birth, 70% has occurred in the </p><p> prenatal period and 30% in the neonatal period. Generally, the most common symptoms </p><p> of testicular torsion during postnatal period include acute pain and swelling of </p><p> the testis, but in the neonatal period it is often manifested by firmness and swelling of </p><p> the testicle. Accordingly, careful attention of the physician and the medical staff </p><p> while examining the newborn results in quick diagnosis and timely medical treatment </p><p> of the torsion. This medical intervention prevents irreversible necrosis of the </p><p> affected testis-the main consequence of the torsion-and helps to restore its function. </p><p> The major purpose of this study was to draw the attention of physicians and medical </p><p> teams to prompt diagnosis of testicular torsion. This study presents two newborn </p><p> babies with testicular torsion, diagnosed at early hours after delivery, who underwent </p><p> surgical treatment within first 8-10 hours after birth.</p><p>  </p> testicular torsion, orchiectomy, orchiopexy, spinal anesthesia 160 166 http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-78&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Ali Akbar Jafarian aliajaf@iums.ac.ir 20031947532846001852 20031947532846001852 Yes Dept. of Anesthesiology, Rasoul Akram Teaching Hospital,Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS), Tehran-Iran, Farnad Imani 20031947532846001853 20031947532846001853 No Dept. of Anesthesiology, Rasoul Akram Teaching Hospital, IUMS, Tehran-Iran Mohammad Reza Al-e-bouyeh 20031947532846001854 20031947532846001854 No Dept. of Anesthesiology, Rasoul Akram Teaching Hospital, IUMS, Tehran-Iran Homa Mottaghi 20031947532846001855 20031947532846001855 No Dept. of Pediatrics, Lolagar Hospital, IUMS, Tehran-Iran Peyman Rahmanizadeh 20031947532846001856 20031947532846001856 No Dept. of Urology, Lolagar Hospital, IUMS, Tehran-Iran
