Abstract

Inflammatory processes in the pelvic organs often involve the ovaries because of their close proximity. Inflammation reaching the ovary in this fashion may be acute or chronic, is limited to the ovarian surface and immediately contiguous stroma and is termed peri-oophoritis. The most common source of infection is the Fallopian tube but peritonitis secondary to acute appendicitis or diverticular disease of the colon may also involve the ovary.
