title: [Adnexal torsion in childhood].
abstract: Five cases of torsion of normal uterine adnexae are reported in children aged 9 to 13 years. From this series, the authors review the clinical and ultrasonographic features of the torsion of normal uterine adnexa. Ultrasonography should be performed in emergency as the conservation of the ovary depends on the precocity of diagnosis and treatment.
