Abstract
Bilateral testicular torsion in the neonate, although uncommon, is being reported with increasing frequency. Most previously reported cases have been full term, average to above average weight infants born with nonviable testes. We report a case of bilateral neonatal testicular torsion in a 32-week newborn in whom testicular viability may have been preserved by pre-term birth.
