Large torsed neonatal ovarian cysts associated with massive vesicoureteral and intrarenal reflux.
The cases of two infants with large neonatal ovarian cysts complicated by salpingotorsion are reported. Both had persistent hydronephrosis after resolution of the ovarian cyst. Voiding cystourethrography in each child demonstrated massive vesicoureteral reflux with intrarenal reflux. The potential significance of this association and its possible cause are discussed.
