Article Abstract
An otherwise healthy young woman presented to the Emergency Department with abdominal pain. Multiple diagnoses were considered, as must be in cases of women with lower quadrant abdominal pain. Rapid identification of an abnormally enlarged ovary in close proximity to the opposite ovary on pelvic ultrasonography suggested the diagnosis of ovarian torsion. This was verified on laparoscopy. Of note is the fact that normal Doppler flow to both ovaries was demonstrated on pelvic ultrasound. We present this case, and its associated images, with the intent to highlight a readily identifiable sign of ovarian torsion for emergency physicians and to briefly review ovarian torsion's salient clinico-pathologic features.

Ovarian fibromatosis (OF) is a rare, benign condition that often mimics malignancy, leading to unnecessary oophorectomies. We report the case of a 12-year-old girl presenting with acute right lower abdominal pain and vomiting, with a history of intermittent abdominal pain since age seven. Imaging revealed an enlarged, avascular right adnexa with a solid lesion.

Japan Community Healthcare Organization, Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: We report the efficacy and safety of voretigene neparvovec (VN) as an adeno-associated viral vector-based gene therapy for Japanese patients with inherited retinal dystrophy caused by biallelic pathogenic variants (-retinopathy).
Design: Open-label, single arm, phase III clinical trial.
Participants: Four subjects were recruited based on the following criteria: (1) a clinical and molecular genetic diagnosis of -retinopathy; (2) age ≥4 years; (3) a best-corrected VA (BCVA) worse than 20/60 or a visual field (VF) <20° by a III4e isopter or equivalent; and (4) sufficient viable retinal cells by OCT or ophthalmoscopy.
Rare co-occurrence of appendicitis, ovarian dermoid cyst with torsion: a case report.

Department of Pathology, Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu University, Nepal.
Introduction: Simultaneous presentation of acute appendicitis and ovarian torsion is rare and requires urgent surgical intervention due to the high risk of complications, including sepsis and mortality. While adnexal torsion is a known cause of acute abdomen in reproductive-age women, co-presentation with appendicitis is exceptionally uncommon. This case underlines the importance of considering gynecological differentials in women presenting with acute abdominal pain.
