Popis: Testicular torsion is a urologic emergency. The ability of color and power Doppler sonography to diagnose partial testicular torsion definitively remains uncertain. We present a case in which color Doppler findings were indeterminate and the diagnosis of partial testicular torsion was made on the basis of spectral waveform analysis. The characteristic findings in the spectral waveform were asymmetry between the 2 testes, with a higher intratesticular resistance index on the affected side, and reversal of the diastolic plateau on the affected side.
