    Author: Bertozzi M, Magrini E, Bellucci C, Riccioni S, Appignani A.
    Journal: J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol; 2015 Dec; 28(6):e197-201. PubMed ID: 26099697.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Recurrent ipsilateral ovarian torsion at pediatric age is a rare event. Different surgical techniques for its prevention are available. We present a case of recurrent ipsilateral ovarian torsion in a prepubertal girl and we reviewed the literature about the management of this condition. CASE: A 6-year-old girl presented with right ovarian torsion and underwent a laparoscopic untwisting. Nine months later an ipsilateral recurrence occurred. Laparoscopic untwisting and right-sided oophoropexy with plication to the round ligament was performed. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: In addition to our presented case, four cases of recurrent ipsilateral ovarian torsion in pediatric patients were identified in the literature. The few available reports in the pediatric literature show different management techniques. A long-term study is necessary to define the most effective treatment.
