Published: July 2005

Management of perinatal torsion varies between centers from urgent surgical exploration and contralateral fixation to conservative nonoperative management. We present a case of paratesticular abscess in a neonate mimicking a perinatal torsion which may influence management of this condition in some cases.

The management of neonatal testicular torsion lacks consensus. Arguments in favor of emergency bilateral exploration and fixation include a salvage rate and the incidence of bilateral torsion. We performed a retrospective single-center analysis of all cases of neonatal torsion in our unit between 2012 and 2022 to assess whether our data supports this approach and to publish further data on a disease on which there remains a paucity.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores fetal and offspring heart adaptations in cases of fetal growth restriction (FGR) compared to healthy controls over time.
  • Using advanced echocardiographic techniques, researchers found significant differences in heart geometry and function between FGR and healthy fetuses, including increased cardiac output and impaired diastolic function in FGR cases.
  • Findings suggest that changes in heart structure and function associated with FGR may be linked to chronic lack of oxygen from the placenta, potentially leading to long-term cardiovascular issues in affected children.

Uterine torsion is an exceedingly rare obstetric emergency representing pelvic organ torsion, characterized by the uterus rotating more than 45 degrees around the longitudinal axis. This torsion predominantly occurs at the junction of the cervix and uterine corpus. Albeit the infrequent prevalence, this condition can arise in any reproductive group.
