Abstract
A case of 17 years old girl with acute onset of lower abdominal pain is presented. The ultrasound examination demonstrated enlarged left ovary with a simple ovarian cyst 55 x50 mm. On Color Doppler examination the flow was detected only on the periphery of the left ovary. Four years ago in the same patient an operation with right oophorectomy because of ovarian torsion was performed; preventive oophoropexy of healthy ovary was not performed. Because of patient's history data, clinical findings and ultrasound examination strongly suggestion of left ovarian torsion was made. The left ovary was saved by immediate surgical intervention and detorsion. Oophoropexy of the same ovary was performed. The value of elective prophylactic oophoropexy of healthy ovary in unilateral ovarian torsion with review of the literature is discussed.
