The cremasteric reflex: a useful but imperfect sign in testicular torsion.

Caleb P Nelson1, Jeffrey F Williams, David A Bloom.   

Abstract

The cremaster reflex has been reported to be absent in 100% of cases of testicular torsion, making it a useful sign in this difficult diagnosis. The authors report a case of surgically confirmed testicular torsion in which the cremasteric reflex clearly was present at presentation. The background of this sign and its utility in the evaluation of the acute scrotum are discussed.
