Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Ovarian torsion has been observed in approximately 2-3% of adolescents and young women in the reproductive age. Recently many cases have been reported during prepubertal and postmenopausal cases. Especially “Twisted ovarian cyst” presents a medical emergency and may imply torsion of ovary or adnexea. In this study we reported seven cases of young girls aged 6-23 years. They presented with acute abdomen pain. A 6-year-old girl was managed by laparotomy and rest six cases were managed laparoscopically. All the cases had twisted adnexa with hemorrhages in the ovary. The 6-year-old girl had dermoid cyst. All the patients with twisted adnexa underwent untwisting of adnexa with ovarian cystectomy. The twisted side ovary was than fixed to the lateral pelvic wall.
