Testicular torsion in a newborn: a case report.

Discovery of an apparent scrotal mass is a non common entity in neonates. Testicular torsion is rare in newborn infants and is an urologic emergency that requires emergency surgical management. We present a rare case of testicular torsion in a neonate.
