睾丸因扭转而梗死，扭转罕见，但是医疗紧急事件。精索扭转阻断静脉回流就会导致出血性梗死。下降不完全或阴囊韧带缺乏使睾丸活动度增加即可能更易发生扭转。尽快的外科手术，解开并在适当的地方缝合精索可防止以后再发生扭转，从而防止梗死。
This testis has undergone infarction following testicular torsion. Torsion is an uncommon condition, but a medical emergency. It occurs when twisting of the spermatic cord cuts off the venous drainage, leading to hemorrhagic infarction. Greater mobility from incomplete descent or lack of a scrotal ligament predisposes to this condition. Immediate treatment by surgically untwisting and suturing the cord in place to prevent future torsion will prevent infarction.
