Pediatric Ovarian Torsion and its Recurrence: A Multicenter Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how pediatric ovarian torsion (OT) is managed in Italy, focusing on recurrence rates and surgical techniques used in girls aged 1-14 from 2004 to 2014.
- Results showed that the average age for surgery was about 10 years, with various surgical methods employed, including adnexectomy and detorsion; recurrence rates were higher in cases without ovarian masses.
- The study concluded that while oophorectomy remains common, it is not recommended, and that oophoropexy (OPY) appears to effectively reduce recurrence without negatively affecting ultrasound results after one year.
The diagnosis of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is best established by isolating the virus from urine or saliva within the first 2 weeks of life. Detection beyond this point may reflect perinatal acquisition of CMV. Cytomegalovirus is usually transmitted by direct human-to-human contact through vertical or horizontal routes.
