The purpose of our study is to analyze the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of spermatic cord torsion. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in the pediatric surgery department of the Brazzaville University and Hospital Center between January 2013 and December 20015. Records of 11 children aged 0 to 15 years hospitalized for sperm cord torsion and considered exploitable were analyzed. The studied parameters were: epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic aspects. Results: 960 children were admitted to the service during the study period. Among them, 11 cases (1.14%) were for torsion of the spermatic cord. The average age of the patients was 11.5 years (0-15 years). The average consultation time was 22 hours extreme (4-72 hours). Scrotal pain is the main reason for consultation. Five patients (45.4%) were received before the 6th hour. All patients were operated on. The number of turns of turn varied from 1 to 3. Eight testicles (72.7%) were considered viable. The postoperative course was simple.
