AB Testicular  torsion  results  from  abnormal  fixation  of  the  testis  within  the  tunica  vaginalis,  allowing  the  testis  to  twist.  It  exhibits  a  bimodal  age  distribution,  peaking  in  the  perinatal  period  and  during  puberty  but  may  occur  at  any  age.  Although  sometimes  associated  with  trauma,  torsion  usually  occurs  in  the  absence  of  any  preceding  event.
