    Author: Ladenhauf HN, Brandtner MG, Ardelean MA, Schimke C, Metzger R.
    Journal: J Minim Invasive Gynecol; 2017; 24(5):859-862. PubMed ID: 28450253.
    Abstract:
    Intrauterine autoamputation of the ovary is an extremely rare diagnosis in the pediatric population. The current literature is limited to contradictory recommendations, while a standard management protocol for autoamputated adnexa secondary to intrauterine ovarian torsion is yet to be established. We report 2 cases of auto-amputation of the ovary, leading to a free-floating intra-abdominal cyst in the newborn. Laparoscopic management was successful in both cases.
