Abstract
Torsion of an intraabdominal testis is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain
. With a history of undescended testis, it is difficult to establish the di
agnosis and to exclude other emergency abdominal conditions without a lapar
otomy. The following case report illustrates the usefulness of laparoscopy
as a diagnostic as well as a therapeutic tool in such a condition.
