The purpose of this study is to discuss the surgical treatment for ovarian torsion in children and adolescents with a focus on the procedures of adnexal conservation surgery and its frequency in the literature of the last 10 years. We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 127 operative ovarian lesions including 30 ovarian torsions (23.6%) treated in two pediatric centers over a 10-year...

Massive ovarian edema is a rare, non-neoplastic solid tumor-like lesion. It results from compromised venous and lymphatic drainage due to partial or intermittent torsion of ovarian pedicle. Pain, distension or abdominal mass, menstrual irregularities, infertility and hormone-related symptoms can be the clinical presentation. We report a case of massive ovarian edema in a 28-year-old female who ...

387 are malignant.[2] The large ovarian cyst can undergo torsion at any time leading to acute abdominal pain and necrosis of the ovary. Patients are also at risk of developing sepsis due to torsion. Massive ovarian cyst hemorrhage can occur in anticoagulated patients, including those on hemodialysis, who receive heparin anticoagulation.[3] Such cyst may rupture accidentally during continuous am...

A 32-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain in the left lower quadrant, of one day's duration. Ultrasonography of the abdomen revealed a cystic structure in the right adnexa, probably with torsion. Computerized tomography of abdomen and pelvis showed a large pelvic cyst which arose most likely from the left ovary. An urgent laparotomy was done, which however showed a twisted para-ovarian ...

Postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis (POVT), which generally occurs 2-15 days postpartum, is a rare complication. It can be confused with acute appendicitis, pelvic infection, ovarian torsion, tubo-ovarian abscess, and pyelonephritis. It is associated with morbidity and mortality. Here, we present a patient with postpartum OVT and IVC diagnosed by US and CT findings. She was treated successfully ...

Aim of the study was to present a case acute abdomen in pregnancy with twisted ovarian cyst which is rare entity. A primigravida period gestation 25 weeks presented casualty abdomen. Her USG Doppler revealed findings mass around 9 by 6 cm underwent torsion. Patient taken up for emergency laparatomy. Per operatively right sided tubo-ovarian mass-9×8×5 cm, dumbell shaped, fleshy, hemorrhagic and ...

Mature cystic teratoma may be complicated by torsion, rupture, and malignant change, but is rarely complicated by infection. Here we report the case of a patient who presented with a tubo-ovarian abscess following a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure in the setting of an ovarian dermoid cyst.

Aims: This study was conducted to review the clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound findings of patients with a confirmed post-operative adnexal torsion diagnosis in tertiary university hospital reflect management torsion.
 Methods: 44 (ages [15,44] median 30 yr) who had an operation at Ankara University Hospital Gynecology Obstetrics Clinics between October 2013 February 2021 whom preoperat...

Ovarian mutilating surgery is not an option in the management of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), except in cases with evident tissue necrosis after torsion. When severe OHSS occurs, preservation of fertility must be the target. Therefore, conservative management should be the only feasible approach, as recommended in literature worldwide. Individualization of controlled ovarian hypers...

background: ovarian masses represent a range of pathology from benign cyst to highly aggressive malignant tumors. it has been estimated that gynecologic malignancy account for approximately 2% of all types of cancer in children, 60-70% of these lesions arise in the ovary.  methods: all ovarian masses which were resected or biopsied in mofid children's hospital from 2002 to 2012 were review...
