[Ovarian intestial syndrome. (authors transl)].

Authors report the case of a newborn with a sudden picture of abdominal distension, bilious vomiting and blood stools due to a twisted ovarian cyst with ileal volvulus. Patient cured after surgical excision of both ovary and necrotic bowel. A high perinatal gonadotrophic activity could be at the origin of neonatal ovarian cycts. Association with ileal volvulus seems to have been reported only in three other instances.
