AbstractWe report an atypical case of ovarian torsion, an uncommon cause of abdominal pain in a very young girl. She presented with intermittent episodes of groin and thigh pain over a 10-week period. The child had minimal objective findings at the time of each evaluation. Despite the delay in diagnosis, the ovary was preserved. Despite its rarity, ovarian torsion must be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in young girls.
