Ovarian Torsion in Prepubertal Girls: Clinical Characteristics, Biological and Radiological Features, Reccurency Rate

In brief

This study examines two decades of French clinical experience with ovarian torsion in prepubertal girls, focusing on diagnostic delays and post-surgical management. The research analyzes clinical presentation, imaging findings, laboratory markers, and recurrence patterns following surgical detorsion to improve recognition and treatment protocols in this pediatric population.

• Ovarian torsion diagnosis is frequently delayed in prepubertal girls, leading to potential complications.
• Surgical detorsion management lacks standardized protocols in this age group.
• French clinical experience over 20 years provides insights into diagnosis and treatment patterns.
• Recurrence rates after detorsion are an important consideration in prepubertal patients.
• Clinical, biological, and radiological features differ in prepubertal vs. adolescent ovarian torsion.
