Abstract
- Ovarian torsion is a common gynecologic emergency seen in women of all ages, mostly in reproductive women, resulting in ischemia and necrosis of the adnexal tissue. However, it is rare in premenarchal girls. This article reviews the limited published literature, and discusses special considerations about premenarchal ovarian torsion.
