Popis: We report one case of acute testicular torsion following orchidopexy for an undescended testis. A review of the literature reveals only ten similar cases. History of a previous testicular surgery should not preclude the possibility of a torsion in that testicle. We conclude that at orchidopexy for an undescended testis, eversion of the tunica vaginalis is an essential step to avoid any future torsion.
