Résumé

Testicular torsion is a pediatric urological emergency. We report a case of testicular torsion that occurred in a 10-year-old child. The case shows that it is a disease with risk of medicolegal litigation. We demonstrate the role of proper triage, and we analyze the limits and critical points for diagnosing it.
