Abstract
A case of torsion of a normal right ovary and tube in an 8-year-old child is presented. True infarction of the adnexa can be prevented only by considering this diagnosis early in the course of right lower quadrant pain. It is recommended that a routine exploration of the pelvis be carried out in any patient explored for acute appendicitis in whom that diagnosis cannot be made at the operating table.Keywords
