    Abstract:
    The most common cause of acute abdomen in a child is acute appendicitis followed by mesenteric lymphadenitis, invagination, strangulation-ileus as a result of volvulus and more rarely perforated Meckel's diverticulum. However even with a child, from a differential diagnosis' aspect, a gynaecological cause should be taken in account too. From time to time one comes across a polycystic-alterated, with twisted lig. ovarii, haemorrhagic and infarctioned ovary without any endocrinological or other pathological irregularities which produces these complaints and symptoms. In the following casuistic such an instance is described.
