Abstract:
A six year old afebrile girl was referred to the emergency department with abdominal pain in the right lower region. A retrouterine partially cystic lesion with an inhomogene echogenity was demonstrated by transabdominal ultrasound. Pelvic MR showed an enlarged right-sided ovary and a thickened vascular pedicle as well as few adjacent free fluid. Diagnosis of ovarian torsion was confirmed intraoperatively. Conservative ovary-sparing treatment was not possible, so right-sided adnexectomy followed. Histopathologically a haemorrhagic infarction of the ovary and the tube was seen. No signs of malignancy and no tumor could be detected.
