Abstract

Acute scrotum Elderly Testicular pain Testicular torsion
Testicular torsion occurs most frequently in a preadulthood age. In geriatric people, it is very rare and should not be an exclusion criterion for the diagnosis. Lack of awareness about testicular torsion in elderly people may end up with delayed or misdiagnosis. In this article, we report a case of testicular torsion in 62 years old Saudi man.
