A case of bilateral spermatic cord tension in a neonate is reported. Clinical findings are compared with those in 22 previously published cases. Obstetrical history is usually unremarkable. Torsion occurs prior to birth or immediately after birth. The two cords are involved simultaneously or successively. Edema of the scrotum is found in recent spermatic cord tension, whereas subsequently the tests are extremely hard and occasionally severely atrophied. Prognosis is poor since castration or poor testicular viability was the outcome in most cases.
