Pedicle torsion of adnexal cysts results from the increased weight of cysts, longer length of the ovarian and suspensory ligaments or ovarian teratoma. Color doppler ultrasonography is particularly important for detecting suspected cyst torsion. Laparoscopy is becoming more important in the early diagnosis and treatment of adnexal cyst torsion due to its advantages, such as its minimally invasi...

Early diagnosis of ovarian torsion is critical in avoiding complications and planning management. Therefore, it is important to understand and assess the imaging findings of ovarian torsion. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice; however, it is not always definitive and diagnosis can be challenging. MRI is a better imaging modality to evaluate for signs of complications and to arrive at ...

Dermoid cyst is the most common germ cell tumor of the ovary containing various tissue elements. Ovarian torsion is a common complication of which ultrasonographic diagnosis is confusing. We report here a 14-year-old adolescent with painless torsion of the ovary including dermoid cyst and with abnormal elevated CA 19-9 serum levels. Elevated CA 19-9 level may be related to ovarian torsion and m...

Massive ovarian edema (MOE) is a rare benign clinical entity that can be confused with neoplastic ovarian tumor. Usually, ovarian torsion develops secondary to an ovarian tumor, but at times, it might develop even in a normal ovary. Most MOE occurs because of intermittent torsion of the normal ovary and compromised venous or lymphatic drainage, which subsequently involve the arteries. The major...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this case series was to determine the sonographic features of neonatal ovarian torsion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seven surgically proven cases of neonatal ovarian cysts were included in this retrospective study. The patients were divided into 2 groups, torsion and non-torsion. These 7 patients were evaluated for the clinical presentation, sonographic features, surgica...

Ovarian torsion during pregnancy is a rare event and occurs mostly the first trimester. This case describing diagnosis management of an ovarian at 33 weeks in twin with normal term delivery. The patient presented irregular uterine contraction due to acute abdominal pain right iliac fossa. A cyst was discovered ultrasound scan on ovary highly suspected. small laparotomy facing mass after guidanc...

Benign cystic tumors, specifically dermoid or mucinous cysts, are the most frequent causes of ovarian torsion. In clinical practice, adnexal torsion is usually subjected to adnexectomy to prevent embolism of thrombosed ovarian veins and its sequelae. However, this intervention is unsatisfactory for young women who want to preserve their fertility. In such situations, conservative management wit...

AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect of honokiol on experimental ischemia/reperfusion injury of rat ovary. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 40 female Wistar albino rats were used in this study. The rats were divided into five groups as follows: sham (Group I), torsion (Group II), torsion + detorsion (Group III), torsion + detorsion + saline (Group IV), and to...

background:   uterine myomas are common pelvic masses during pregnancy. the pain and rapid growth of myomas are among the most common complications during pregnancy. we evaluate management of painful cystic degeneration of myomas during pregnancy case: a 27-year-old primigravida had a pelvic mass. we have managed a case in which the diagnosis of cystic degeneration of uterine myomas could not b...

Ovarian torsion is a surgical emergency demanding timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent loss of the ovaries which if happens may result in functional and emotional consequences. Simple (less than 5cm in size) ovarian cysts require follow-up for potential self-resolution. We describe a case of antenatally detected bilateral ovarian cysts that developed bilateral ovarian torsions on follow-up...
