Abstract EN
A tubo-ovarian abscess is a serious complication of pelvic inflammatory disease; it is very rare among sexually inactive females.
We report a case of tubo-ovarian abscess in a twelve-year-old sexually inactive female.
The first menarche was two months prior to her presentation with acute abdominal pain and fever and no evidence of acute appendicitis.
The patient had a partially imperforated hymen.
Laparoscopy revealed large bilateral tubo-ovarian abscess.
Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and appendectomy were performed.
Postoperatively the patient received an antibiotic course.
Early diagnosis and intervention are essential to prevent further complications, such as infertility and ectopic pregnancy.
