This is a report of bilateral testicular torsion. The objective of the report is to highlight the serious implications of misdiagnosis of testicular torsion. Other than loss of the testis due to necrosis in unilateral torsion, immunological damage of the opposite testis occurs. Early, accurate diagnosis, and institution of the appropriate treatment are desirable to prevent total loss of reproductive potential in the affected male.
这是一篇关于双侧睾丸扭转的报告。该报告的目的是强调睾丸扭转误诊的严重后果。除了单侧扭转时因坏死导致睾丸丧失外，对侧睾丸还会发生免疫损伤。早期、准确的诊断并采取适当的治疗措施，对于防止受影响男性的生殖潜能完全丧失是很有必要的。
