Abstract :
Ovarian torsion is rarely seen in childhood. A six-year old girl was admitted to our clinic with acute abdominal pain lasting for four days. Symptoms, preoperative physical examination, and ultrasound were suggested ovarian torsion. Ovarian torsion coexisting with periappendicitis was found during operation. The patient was discharged home 5 days after surgery without complications. Although ovarian torsion coexisting with periappendicitis is rare, we suggest surgeon must bear in mind that torsion of ovary may be complicated with periappendicitis. Surgeon should explore intra abdominal viscera
