“…As has been reported in the literature, 1,4 the CT scan with injection or the MRI are mostly performed in order to establish an early assessment when a torsion is suspected to be associated with malignant tumor, although descriptions of OT on sound ovaries have been reported with those imaging techniques. 11,12 Those investigations must not delay the surgical care of any suspected acute OT. Only the surgical exploration, under laparoscopy, if the ovarian volume allows it, enhances the diagnosis of torsion.…”

“…11 While CT may be useful in diagnosing ovarian torsion its utility in discerning abdominal versus gynecological pathology is good. 12 When computed tomography imaging suggests torsion, surgery should not be delayed. 13 Laparoscopy is the standard treatment of ovarian dermoid cysts and provides many advantages over laparotomy.…”

Ovarian torsion is a rare gynecological emergency in children and an early surgical intervention is needed to salvage the ovary. Herein, we present a case of eight year old girl who presented with complaints of lower abdominal pain during ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. She was diagnosed as a case of ovarian torsion on right side. She underwent exploratory laparotomy and ovarian cystectomy was performed. Delay in diagnosis and treatment of ovarian torsion may have grave consequences, resulting in functional loss of the ovary.

Ovarian torsion represents a true surgical emergency. Prompt diagnosis is essential to ovarian salvage, and high clinical suspicion is important in this regard. Confounding the diagnosis in general are more commonly encountered abdominal complaints in the Emergency Department (ED) such as constipation, diarrhea, and urinary tract infections and more common surgical emergencies such as appendicitis. Prompt diagnosis can be further complicated in low-risk populations such as young children. Herein, we describe the case of a 5-year-old girl with a seemingly benign presentation of abdominal pain who was diagnosed in the ED and treated for acute ovarian torsion after two prior clinic visits. A brief discussion of evaluation, treatment, and management of ovarian torsion follows.
