Abstract :
Ovarian torsion is a common gynecologic cause of acute abdomen in the reproductive females but it is not commonly encountered in paediatric age group. Safeguarding the ovary is especially important in young girls where the future fertility issue has to be considered. The main challenge in paediatric age group is a prompt diagnosis which aids in the salvagability of the ovary. Herein we are reporting a rare case of ovarian torsion in a 9 year old which was successfully managed by salvaging the ovary.
