Penile torsion is a fairly common congenital condition with male infants. It occurs up to about 1 in 80 newborn males. With this condition, the penis appears rotated on its axis, almost always to the left (counterclockwise). See also Chordee References Bar-Yosef Y, Binyamini J, Matzkin H, Ben-Chaim J.
