Resumo
Background:Ovarian torsion in infants can be asymptomatic or may present with ab- dominal mass and malnutrition. It is an uncommon and non-specific condition in children. We re- port a girl who underwent detorsion and ovariopexy for suspected ovarian torsion after a previous oophorectomy. The role of progesterone therapy is determined in reducing the size of adnexal mass.
Case Presentation:The patient was diagnosed with right ovarian torsion and underwent an oopho- rectomy at one year of age. About 18 months later, she was diagnosed with left ovarian torsion and underwent detorsion with lateral pelvic fixation. Despite the pelvic fixation of the ovary, a continu- ous increase in the volume of the ovarian tissue was evident during successive ultrasounds. Proges- terone therapy was started at five years of age in order to prevent retorsion and preserve the ovarian tissue. In successive follow-ups during the therapy, ovarian volume decreased, and its size (27*18 mm) was restored.
Conclusion:The presented case reminds doctors of the possibility of ovarian torsion in young girls with pelvic pain. More research is needed on the use of hormonal drugs, such as progesterone, in similar cases.
