Ovarian cysts in newborns

Abstract: Before the introduction of ultrasonography (US), ovarian cysts in newborns were thought to be rare. With the extended use of real-time US, prenatal detection has increased. There is still considerable controversy regarding the best treatment of these neonatal findings. A total of 27 instances in 24 consecutive newborns of antenatally-diagnosed ovarian cysts were reviewed for US data, management, and outcome to assess the ante- and postnatal evolution of the cyst and establish appropriate therapy. The cysts det… Show more

“…Enríquez et al [15] compared the result of conservative vs surgical treatment of complex neonatal ovarian cysts and recommended conservative management with clinical and sonographic monitoring for complex neonatal ovarian cyst. However, twisted, infarcted cyst may cause inflammatory adhesion to the bowel loops [16,17] and lead to intestinal obstruction and/or rupture with peritonitis [10]. Another point is that ultrasound cannot precisely differentiate a hemorrhagic cyst from cystic torsion [17] or other causes of abdominal cysts.…”
