ABSTRACT

Tubo-ovaric torsion in the absence of adnexal disease is a more than generally appreciated occurring event, for which emergency treatment is advocated if the development of necrosis of the involved elements is to be prevented. We report here on three representative cases: in one, an acute, intense lower abdominal pain called for a laparotomy during which a tubo-ovaric torsion was detected and untwisted. The other two patients complained of intermittent, brief and unspecific abdominal pain and diagnoses were made only because of the appearance of ovarian disorganization or calcification on X-rays films requested as a part of the diagnostic approach for urinary tract symptoms. It is concluded that a complete evaluation of all events of acute lower abdominal pain in girls is important specially for those from 8 to 13 of age and with pain, on the left side.
