Bilateral Simultaneous Ovarian Torsion in Baby

Abstract

Bilateral simultaneous ovarian torsion is rare in pediatric patients. We wanted to share the diagnosis, treatment and results of our patient with bilateral concurrent ovarian torsion with the literature.The three-month-old girl was brought to the emergency room because of unrest for 2 days. Doppler ultrasonography showed no vascularity in bilateral ovaries. The patient was taken into operation immediately. Detorsion was applied to both ovaries. Although the blood circulation of the ovaries did not improve, the ovaries were preserved and no oophorectomy was performed. In the postoperative follow-up, the blood supply of the right ovary began to be observed. The patient is still in follow-up and right ovarian blood supply continues. We presented the 4th case in the literature due to bilateral synchronized ovarian torsion. We wanted to present that the ovarian protective approach in these patients' surgery may be satisfying even in a limited case.
