A rare cause of acute abdomen after a sport-related blunt abdominal trauma – Torsion of a normal ovary in a pre-pubertal girl

Abstract

Adnexal torsion is an uncommon gynecological emergency which mostly occurs during productive ages and in adnexa with mass-increasing pathology or anatomical abnormality. We reported the first known case of torsion of a normal adnexa after a sport-related blunt abdominal trauma in a pre-pubertal girl. Adnexal torsion can happen in a pre-pubertal girl with normal adnexa. Common laboratory examinations provide little help and image studies can be suggestive but often not diagnostic. Early gynecological or surgical consultation is recommended in the context of a high level of clinical suspicion. Early surgical treatment is well codified and should be conservative by laparoscopy as possible.
