The present study focuses attention on intermittent testicular torsion, a well-differentiated but underdiagnosed entity.
Four cases of intermittent testicular torsion are described. The presence of recurrent acute testicular pain that remits spontaneously or following self-manipulation and the horizontal of the testis (bell clapper) are sufficient to make the diagnosis.
All four cases underwent bilateral orchipexy with excellent results. At years' follow-up all patients remain asymptomatic.
Intermittent testicular torsion must be considered appropriately since these patients comprise the largest group at high risk for developing acute testicular torsion. Bilateral orchidopexy will ensure the viability of the testis with 100% good results.
本研究聚焦于间歇性睾丸扭转，这是一种分化良好但诊断不足的疾病。
描述了4例间歇性睾丸扭转病例。反复出现的急性睾丸疼痛可自行缓解或经自我手法复位后缓解，以及睾丸的水平位（钟摆样）足以做出诊断。
所有4例均接受了双侧睾丸固定术，效果良好。经过数年随访，所有患者均无症状。
必须适当考虑间歇性睾丸扭转，因为这些患者是发生急性睾丸扭转的高危人群中最大的一组。双侧睾丸固定术将确保睾丸的存活，效果极佳。
