Neonatal testicular torsion (NTT) was first described by Taylor et al. in 1897 [1]. It can be unilateral or less frequently, bilateral. It’s a rare disease that occurs in neonate estimated at 1 in 7500 newborns [2]. Our case report is about a 9 days old male presented with a history of a swelling and irreducible inguinal hernia. Upon admission an ultrasonography was done and reported a right inguinoscrotal hernia. Surgical exploration was performed and the exploration found an extravaginally testicular torsion with a necrotic testicular associated with an inguinal hernia sac. Inside the sac we found a vermiform appendix non perforated known as amyand’s hernia.
