Abstract
ABSTRACT
Ovarian torsion is a rare gynecological emergency in children and an early surgical
intervention is needed to salvage the ovary. Herein, we present a case of eight year
old girl who presented with complaints of lower abdominal pain during ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic. She was diagnosed as a case of ovarian torsion on right side.
She underwent exploratory laparotomy and ovarian cystectomy was performed.
Delay in diagnosis and treatment of ovarian torsion may have grave consequences,
resulting in functional loss of the ovary.
