    AbstractTorsion of the appendix testis (TAT) and testicular torsion (TT) are the most common causes of acute scrotum in the pediatric population. They usually present as separate conditions and have distinct managements. We report a unique case of a 16-year-old boy with concomitant TAT and TT. The role of TAT as a trigger factor to TT is addressed, and its clinical repercussion on the management of acute scrotum is discussed.Copyright © 2019 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
