Abstract
Sixteen cases of intravaginal testicular torsion were studied to compa re the intrascrotal anatomy with that of the contralateral testis and to determine possible anatomic predisposition to testicular torsion. T he anatomy of the contralateral testis was not always similar to that of the ipsilateral testis, and four of the contralateral testes were j udged to be without risk of torsion.
