Abstract
Torsion of the ovary is a rare condition whose diagnosis remains difficult given the non-specificity of the clinical picture as well as the difficulty of clinical evaluation, especially in young girls. It is a surgical emergency because it involves the vital prognosis by the hemorrhagic risk, and functional prognosis by the risk of infertility. The clinical picture is dominated by acute abdominal pain. Our work reports the case of a 2-year-old girl in whom the diagnosis of ovarian torsion was made in front of an atypical clinical picture. Laparoscopy is the method of choice for making a positive diagnosis and performing a conservative procedure as described in this work.
