Ovarian cysts are very common and 10% of women have an operation during their life for investigation of an ovarian mass. These cysts are typically benign, however, it is important to determine if further investigation is required, since the incidence of malignancy is 1 in 1000 cases. Ovarian cyst�associated torsion, which is an emergency requiring early surgical intervention, is common in young girls compared with adults. We report here on two cases; six years old with torsion of right ovarian cyst and on 16 years old came with huge right side ovarian cyst. Ovarian torsion in children and young adolescent girls is associated with nonspecific signs and symptoms. Abdominal ultrasound and Doppler imaging may assist in the diagnosis. Laparoscopy with conservative management is preferred. Because of the high recurrence rate, oophoropexy may be considered.
