A Rare Case of Ovarian Torsion in a 2 Year - Old Young Girl

Dr. T. Manideep

Abstract: The diagnosis of ovarian torsion is generally made by symptoms which are more commonly encountered as abdominal complaints in the Emergency Department such as vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea, and urinary tract infections and more common surgical emergencies such as appendicitis. Prompt diagnosis is further complicated in low - risk populations such as young children. Herein, we describe the case of a 2 - year - old girl with a seemingly benign presentation of abdominal pain who was diagnosed and treated for acute ovarian torsion.
