The clinical course of unresected ovarian torsion.
The authors report the clinical course of a young girl with ovarian torsion who was treated conservatively. This case shows that detorsion of the ovary may be associated with immediate postoperative febrile morbidity and slow resolution of ovarian enlargement. The authors emphasize that these signs can be associated with viable ovarian tissue and are not necessarily an indication for oophorectomy.
