Laparoscopic Management of Autoamputated Ovary in Newborns: A Report of 2 Cases.

Intrauterine autoamputation of the ovary is an extremely rare diagnosis in the pediatric population. The current literature is limited to contradictory recommendations, while a standard management protocol for autoamputated adnexa secondary to intrauterine ovarian torsion is yet to be established. We report 2 cases of auto-amputation of the ovary, leading to a free-floating intra-abdominal cyst in the newborn. Laparoscopic management was successful in both cases.
