    BackgroundAdnexal torsion is a serious condition and delay in surgical intervention may result in loss of ovary. Children and adolescents who have suffered from uterine adnexal torsion may be at risk for asynchronous torsion of the contralateral adnexa.CaseWe report the case of asynchronous bilateral ovarian torsion in a 9-year-old girl, resulting in right and subsequently left salpingo-oophorectomy.ConclusionThe diagnosis of ovarian torsion often is delayed. When ovarian torsion is suspected, laparoscopy should be performed without delay, and conservative management should be strongly considered to prevent surgical castration. Oophoropexy of the ipsilateral and contralateral ovary should be considered to prevent a recurrent torsion.Copyright © 2014 North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology.
