Intermittent pelvic pain caused by ovarian cysts in adolescence may be due to torsion or partial torsion of the ovary. We present a case of 18-year old adolescent with symptomatic left ovarian torsion with calcifications demonstrated by pelvic MRI and ultrasonography prior to surgery. The pathologic investigation demonstrated dystrophic calcifications. We speculated that the pattern of the inte...

BACKGROUND Ovarian torsion in children is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain but mandates early surgical management to prevent further adnexal damage. The clinical presentation mimics other pathologies, such as appendicitis. We sought to more completely characterize ovarian torsion with respect to pain and ancillary studies, such as urinalysis. METHODS We performed a retrospective revi...

Ovarian torsion is frequently found in benign cases of non-adhered ovarian tumors. When only a simple cyst without surface nodules detected by preoperative imaging, we tend to classify the tumor as benign. We herein report case that presented and was be high-grade serous carcinoma laparoscopic adnexectomy postmenopausal woman.

Adnexal torsion may occur in girls and adolescents. Often it is associated with ovarian diseases resulting in ovarian enlargement. Adnexal torsion may involve the ovary, fallopian tube or both, and the main sympton is acute pelvic pain. An 8-year-old girl complaining of acute pelvic and abdominal pain, who was previously diagnosed with precocious puberty and who received treatment with a GnRH a...

A case of fallopian tube fimbrial cyst torsion with haemorrhage is presented, occurring in a 37-year-old female who had tubal ligation 6 years back. She presented in emergency with acute abdomen. Initial assessment of ovarian cyst haemorrhage or torsion was made. Ultrasound showed cystic structures in left adnexa and complex cyst in right adnexa with suspicion of torsion. Laparoscopy was perfor...

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 t...

Introduction ▼ Transabdominal ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice in the evaluation of girls with pathologic ovarian conditions such as ovarian masses, ovarian torsion or hemorrhagic ovarian cysts. The shape of the ovaries and their structure, size and blood flow can be determined by ultrasound. Before puberty, the ovaries have a volume of about 1 ml and contain small, non-stimulated f...

When the preparation was still fresh, I showed the Society a specimen of an ovarian dermoid with torsion of the pedicle, remarking that it illustrated Dr Herman W. Freund's explanation of the pedicle torsion of ovarian tumours.1 Two other cases of ovariotomy this spring have occurred where the pedicles were twisted, and as the histories of the cases which furnished the preparations present seve...
