Abstract
The authors report the clinical course of a young girl with ovarian torsion who was treated conservatively. This case shows that detorsion of the ovar y 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 ind ication for oophorectomy. J Pediatr Surg 35:1385-1387. Copyright (C) 2000 b y W.B.
