Perinatal testis torsion is a rarely seen clinical entity occuring in the intrauterine period or in the first 30 days of life. Urgent evaluation, prompt consultation if necessary and proper treatment arrangements are necessary for a good outcome in case of perinatal testis torsion. We reported a very rare case of perinatal testicular torsion as it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of crying and restless newborns.
