Abstract EN
Objective: To analyze the clinical presentation and management of testicular torsion and its appendages.

Torsion of the hydatid Morgagni accounted for 88.5% of cases involving the appendages.
The right side was more commonly involved.
The age incidence in torsion of the appendages was less than that in torsion of the testis.
The testis was salvaged in 77.5% of cases.
The salvage rate improved to 91% when cases were treated within 4-6 hours.
Conclusion: Torsion of the testis was less Common than torsion of the testicular appendages.
