A three-year-old boy was brought to the emergency department because of painful swelling in the left groin that had developed suddenly over six hours. His parents reported repeated crying episodes, refusal to walk, and reduced oral intake. No vomiting or abdominal distension was present. The child had been evaluated previously at another clinic for absence of the right testis within the scrotum, although no operative intervention had been performed at that time.
