AB  - Testicular torsion is a common pediatric emergency. 
Predisposing factors and other risk factors for testicular 
torsion have not been fully elucidated. This case report 
highlights teenage brothers who each experienced rightsided testicular torsion at nearly the same age, just 1 year apart. Because of their parents’ urgency in seeking 
medical attention, the affected testicles in both patients 
were salvaged. We also review the current literature in 
regards to etiology, inheritance, and patient and parental 
education.
