The pathology is more common on the right side, which is due to the anatomy of the pelvis, and the clinical picture can be mistaken for acute appendicitis. Adnexal torsion is characterized by impaired blood supply and rapid development of necrosis in the affected organ, which requires emergency surgical intervention.</p> <p>The article presents a case of late diagnosis and treatment of a 3-year-old girl who was admitted to the Children's Republican Clinical Hospital in Saransk by an ambulance team with complaints of intermittent, sharp abdominal pain and a preliminary diagnosis of acute appendicitis. During a diagnostic ultrasound examination using color Doppler mapping, signs of a structurally altered right ovary without a vascular pattern were detected. Intraoperatively, a diagnosis of torsion, necrosis of the right uterine appendages, and secondary appendicitis was made.</p> <p>This case of a long diagnostic journey, complicated by the vague clinical picture of torsion combined with inflammation of the appendix, highlights the importance of both clinical and instrumental findings in young children with suspected urgent conditions. Despite the fact that the patient was discharged with improvement under the supervision of a district pediatrician, the girl's reproductive health was affected due to the long diagnostic process caused by the subclinical form of the disease.</p> <p>Thus, when abdominal pain occurs, given the importance of reproductive health for girls, doctors need to be particularly vigilant in order to detect and treat the disease promptly using organ-preserving methods.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Перекрут придатков матки у девочек дошкольного возраста встречается редко, а диагностика затруднена в связи с неярко выраженными клиническими проявлениями. Патология носит чаще правосторонний характер, что обусловлено анатомией малого таза, в связи с чем клиническую картину можно принять за состояние острого аппендицита. Для перекрута придатков матки характерно нарушение кровоснабжения и быстрое развитие некроза поражённого органа, что требует оказания экстренной хирургической помощи.</p> <p>В статье представлен случай поздней диагностики и лечения девочки в возрасте 3 лет, доставленной бригадой скорой медицинской помощи в ГБУЗ «Детская республиканская клиническая больница» г. Саранска с жалобами на периодические схваткообразные резкие боли в животе и предварительным диагнозом острого аппендицита. При диагностическом ультразвуковом исследовании в режиме цветового допплеровского картирования обнаружены признаки структурно изменённого правого яичника без сосудистого рисунка. Интраоперационно выставлен диагноз перекрута, некроза правых придатков матки, вторичного аппендицита.</p> <p>Представленный случай долгого диагностического пути, затруднённого стёртой клинической картиной перекрута в сочетании с воспалением червеобразного отростка, указывает на значимость не только клинических, но и инструментальных результатов исследований у детей младшего возраста при подозрении на ургентную патологию. Несмотря на то, что пациентка была выписана с улучшением под наблюдение участкового педиатра, репродуктивное здоровье девочки пострадало в связи с долгой диагностикой, обусловленной субклинической формой заболевания.</p> <p>Таким образом, при возникновении болей в животе, учитывая важность репродуктивного здоровья для девочек, врачам необходимо иметь особую настороженность для раннего выявления и оперативного лечения заболевания с применением органосохраняющих методов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>uterine appendage</kwd><kwd>acute appendicitis</kwd><kwd>ovariectomy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>перекрут придатков матки</kwd><kwd>острый аппендицит</kwd><kwd>овариоэктомия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Serova VN, Sukhikh GT, Savelieva GM.
