Torsion of the Spermatic Cord (TCS) is a serious surgical emergency. It corresponds to a rotation on a vertical axis of the testicle resulting in the formation of coil turns at the level of the spermatic cord causing the cessation of blood flow or even testicular ischemia. This pathology is responsible for rapid testicular necrosis resulting in the loss of functions of the ipsilateral gland with the possibility of subsequent impairment of fertility. It is therefore a real emergency.
