چکیده

We report findings of magnetic resonance imaging including susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) of the subacute torsion of an ovarian fibrothecoma in a patient with renal dysfunction. Although venous thrombosis within the vascular pedicle mimicked a malignant tumor, showing high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and diffusion-weighted imaging, we diagnosed ovarian torsion on SWI without the administration of contrast medium, aided by the prominent susceptibility-induced signal void caused by the thrombosis.

Recurrent Ovarian Torsions in a Nine Months Period in a 7-year- Old Girl: A Case Report

      Ovarian torsion (adnexal torsion) is an uncommon disorder in pediatrics and should be considered as a differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in preteen girls. Almost 70% of ovarian torsions are seen in young girls older than 20 years, but it could also occur in preteen girls. Sonography is one of the most useful methods to diagnose ovarian torsion. In pediatrics, ovarian torsion should ...

The Mechanism Causing High-signal Intensity on Diffusion-weighted Imaging in Adnexal Torsion: Two Case Reports

We report two cases with adnexal torsion to assess the mechanism of very strong signal intensity in ovarian lesions on DW imaging using MR imaging such as T2*-weighted imaging. MR imaging findings of the cases suggest that the very strong signal intensity on DW imaging is contributed to cytotoxic edema with or without vasogenic edema, as well as oxyhemoglobin or extracellular methemoglobin.

Magnetic resonance imaging features of massive ovarian edema in pregnancy: utility for decisions in expectant management

INTRODUCTION Massive ovarian edema (MOE) is a rare disease and few reports have described the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging manifestations in pregnancy. CASE DESCRIPTION We report here a case of MOE in a patient at 12 weeks' gestation. Abdominal T2-weighted MR images showed asymmetric ovarian enlargement in a teardrop configuration, hyperintense peripherally displaced follicles, and twistin...
