Introduction Ovarian torsion is one of the prevalent gynecologic emergencies, in which the adnexal components swing around their axis that leads to obstruction of arterial, venous, and/or lymphatic vessels (1). In this situation, gangrene and necrosis with the expansion of arterial insufficiency is followed by primary congestion and hemorrhagic infarction owing to venous and lymphatic obstruction. However, there is no data about the least number of turns to form the torsion and also there is no data for the duration of torsion that is necessary for the setting in of necrosis (2). Diagnosis of torsion is based on clinical indication and found by sonographic findings. Meanwhile a definite diagnosis is made only during surgery (1) Oophorectomy of the necrotic and/ or doubtful ovaries after torsion or incarceration is the preferred surgical treatment in contemporaneous practice. However, before maturity, the importance of losing the gonads is higher than its loss in later periods. Also, nonsynchronous contralateral torsion has an occurrence ranging between 2%-5%, therefore, is considered as a clinical catastrophe. Twenty-five percent of children with torsion have abnormal ovaries. Moreover, protection of the gonads is the main attention in children. Therefore, a more conservative approach has been recommended in the last research (2). In the past, remedial action to overcome ovarian torsion was surgical removal of the ovaries. Nowadays, due to the importance of the ovaries in fertility and secretion of sexual hormones, ovaries are retained (3). Ovarian torsion/detorsion or ischemia/reperfusion of ovary is a pathophysiologic event in which histological damage is associated with perfusion reduction followed by lack of oxygen (ischemia) in ovarian tissue. The inflammatory response induced by torsion/detorsion (reperfusion) can lead to vascular endothelial cells damage and microcirculation disorders that are largely responsible for the injury to the ovarian tissue. The damage caused by ischemia/reperfusion produces excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl free radical species, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2), and superoxide radical (4-6). Therefore, oxidation has wrecking effects on ovarian tissue, thus, antioxidant substances not only have great roles in the recovery process but also reverse the adverse effects. Natural products such as plant extracts are a good alternative for drugs used in oxidative damage (7).
