TI  - Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for unilateral testicular torsion in a child.
PG  - 161-2
AB  - Torsion of the testis is a urological emergency most commonly occurring in 
      adolescent boys. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has been shown to alleviate 
      reperfusion injury in experimental ischaemia of the testis. We report a 
      13-year-old boy who had prolonged right testicular ischaemia. Despite surgery, 
      the colour of the testis remained poor. He underwent a post-operative course of 
      10 HBOT over 8 days, with restoration of blood flow on colour Doppler and 
      reduction of oedema. At four-month followup, the testis appeared normal on 
      ultrasonography. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published case 
      of torsion of the testis treated with HBOT.
