Author(s): Maha Abdul-Jabbar Lattuf AL-Rudaini, Omar AbdulQader Ajaj and Hayder Adnan Fawzi
Background: Torsion of the testis is a surgical emergency because the likelihood of testicular salvage decreases as the duration of the torsion increases. TWIST (Testicular Workup for Ischemia and Suspected Torsion) score had been validated for diagnosis of testicular torsion in children with acute scrotum. Objective: establish the validity and applicability of using TWIST score in the diagnosis of testicular torsion in children. Methods: The study includes 53 patients presented with acute scrotum, TWIST score obtained for all patients and classifies the patients into 3 groups of testicular torsion: Low risk (1-2), Intermediate risk: (3-4) and high risk (5-7).
