| Bilateral testicular torsion is a rare condition. We report a case of a male newborn with
bilateral enlarged and firm testes. Color-Doppler revealed no evidence of vascular flow in both
testes. Although intraoperative findings were in favor of bilateral infarcted and gangrenous
testes, the patient underwent bilateral orchiopexy after conferring with his parents. At sixmonth follow-up, both testicles were atrophic. Management of bilateral neonatal testicular
torsion is controversial and includes conservative management, orchiopexy, and orchiectomy.
The possibility of salvaging testis in neonatal testicular torsion is very low in each treatment
