Prenatal testis torsiyonunun ultrasonografik özellikleri: Olgu sunumu

Prenatal testis torsiyonu (PNTT) nadir görülmesine rağ men, bilateral olması durumunda anorşiye neden olabilen önemli bir durumdur. PNTT’lu vakalar da genellikle eks travajinal torsiyon görülmekte ve tedavisi acil cerrahi giri şimdir. Makalemizde 39. hafta da prenatal testis torsiyonu saptanan bir olgu sunulmuştur. PNTT’nu tanısı Doppler USG ile doğrulandı ve acil ameliyata alındı. Ameliyata sol testiste ekstravaginal torsiyon olduğu, testisin gang rene ve nekrotik olduğu gözlendi. Sol orşiektomi yapılan olguda intrauterin ultrasonografik tanısının doğru olduğu saptandı.

Ultrasonographic features of prenatal testicular torsion: Case report

Although prenatal testicular torsion (PNTT) is rarely ob served, it is an important condition that can cause bilat eral vanishing testis. Generally, PNTT cases observed as extravaginal torsion and treatment is emergency surgical op-eration. In this article, 39 week presented a case diag nosed in the prenatal testicular torsion. PNTT diagnosis was confirmed by Doppler ultrasonography and emer gency surgery was performed. Extravaginal left testicular torsion gangrene and necrosis of the testis was observed in the operation. Left orchiectomy was performed and intrauter-ine ultrasonographic diagnosis was found to be correct.
