Abstract
In this article, the mechanism of testicular descent is reviewed, as well as the c1inicalaspects of can ine and feline cryptorquidism. The hereditary nature of this condition, and the increased risk of cryptorquid testicles to develop tumors, and testicular torsion should be noticed when we establish a treatment.
