Torsion of testis with reversible ischemia of the testis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/724972243

A condition characterised as being when the spermatic cord (from which the testicle is suspended) twists, cutting off the testicle's blood supply with a rapid onset of testicular pain. In this situation, the lack of blood supply can be reversed and there is no cell tissue death within the testicle.
