Abstract
Human chorionic gonadotropin and gonadotropin-releasing hormone administration has been advocated for the nonoperative management of undescended testes. Proponents of hormonal manipulation cite the low morbidity of endocrine treatment as its major advantage over conventional surgical repair. We report a serious potential complication of human chorionic gonadotropin administration, intravaginal spermatic cord torsion and testicular infarction, in an infant with bilateral cryptorchidism.
