“…6,7,11 Torsion is the most frequent complication of ovarian neoplasms in children, of which benign teratomas are the most common. Although previous studies have reported a significant proportion of teratomas in patients with a ovarian torsion, 4,6,9,15 our study failed to identify such pathology. This may have been owing to age-related reasons.…”

“…Similarly, most patients reported vomiting. [4][5][6][7]9,12,13 Finally, fever was seen in a minority of patients. 4,5,7,11,[13][14][15] However, in contrast to other pediatric reports, 4,5 a pelvic mass was not documented in any charts in our review.…”

“…The diagnostic challenge of ovarian torsion is evidenced by a delay in diagnosis reported by several authors. 9,10 The objective of the present 15-year review of ovarian torsion in a large Canadian children's hospital was to more completely describe the nature of the pain in pediatric patients with ovarian torsion and detail findings on ancillary tests, such as urinalysis. We hoped this information would prove useful to front-line clinicians in identifying ovarian torsion as a consideration in the evaluation of a potentially surgical abdomen.…”

“…Other studies of pediatric patients with ovarian torsion have found a mean age of presentation ranging 9 to 12.5 years. 4,5,[9][10][11][12][13] The largest study of pediatric ovarian torsion reported a mean age of 9.2 years.…”

“…In our study, three infants had bilateral OCs, but none developed bilateral torsion; nevertheless, such event has been reported (Corbett and Lamont, 2002). Although synchronous neonatal bilateral ovarian torsion has been rarely reported (Guileyardo, 1982;Corbett and Lamont, 2002), asynchronous bilateral ovarian torsion in older children and adults has been reported in several publications (Eckler et al, 2000;Ozcan et al, 2002;Aziz et al, 2004;Beaunoyer et al, 2004). The prevalence of women with a solitary ovary in the general female population or in the subfertile group has been scarcely investigated.…”

Objectives To evaluate the frequency of ovarian torsion in neonates with ovarian cysts (OCs) and to analyze the outcome after surgical treatment.Methods A retrospective review of all infants with OCs managed in our institution during 20 years, was conducted. Our management included a follow-up (FU) of prenatal serial ultrasound (US) scan without prenatal cyst aspiration and early postnatal US scan. Neonatal surgery was indicated for cysts that appeared complex regardless of size and for simple cysts larger than 20 mm.Results Sixty-seven OCs detected through prenatal diagnosis were identified. Cysts were detected at a median gestational age (GA) of 33 weeks. At diagnosis, median size of the OCs was 40 mm, and 18% were complex. On the postnatal US scan, 55% were complex. Neonatal surgery was performed for 64 OCs : 56% were torsed, 6% were hemorrhagic, and 38% were uncomplicated. Proportions of complex-and simple-appearing cysts on prenatal or postnatal US scan were the only significantly different parameters found between infants with torsed or not torsed OC. ConclusionOur study demonstrated that OC bears a high risk of ovarian loss. These findings have implications regarding information and treatment offered to pregnant women bearing an affected fetus.

The clinical and radiologic diagnosis of adnexal torsion is challenging. The patient's history, physical examination, and laboratory evaluation may overlap significantly with other causes of abdominal pain. Ultrasound is the most common radiologic tool to assess for torsion, and the imaging findings can be equally equivocal. We present a case of adnexal torsion in an 18-year-old emergency room patient with abdominal pain, diagnosed by ultrasound based solely on an abnormal medial position of the ovary-a finding that has been only rarely mentioned in the literature, and never in isolation.
