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 ...

Background and Aim: Ovarian torsion is one of the rare causes of emergency surgeries during pregnancy. Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare type of pregnancy characterized by embryo implantation in two different locations. occurence of these two complications at the same time is a very rare condition. In this study, we present a rare case of heterotopic pregnancy accompanied by ovarian torsion. Pat...

background & aim: ovarian torsion is one of the most common causes of emergency surgery in gynecology, with a tendency to occur in postmenopausal women. the aim of this study was to provide information concerning the clinical presentations, surgical management, pathological findings and risk of malignancy in postmenopausal women with ovarian torsion. methods:in this cross-sectional study, the r...

background: during the detorsion of a torsioned ovary, oxidant agents are released and melatonin as an antioxidant can reduce ischemia. we studied the histopathological changes after using melatonin on experimental torsioned ovary in cat. objective: the aim of this experimental study was to investigate the effects of melatonin on histopathological changes in torsion – detorsion injury in cat ov...

Ovarian torsion is a rare but emergency condition in women. Early diagnosis is necessary to preserve the function of the ovaries and tubes and prevent severe morbidity. Ovarian torsion refers to complete or partial rotation of the adnexal supporting organ with ischemia. It can affect females of all ages. Ovarian torsion occurs in around 2%-15% of patients who have surgical treatment of adnexal ...

Although ovarian torsion is rare in children, it is frequently misdiagnosed in the broad differential diagnosis of its major presenting symptom: abdominal pain. In addition to the pain that ovarian torsion causes, when left untreated, ovarian torsion represents a significant threat to the future fertility of girls. This review looks at the evidence on diagnosing ovarian torsion, focusing partic...

Ovarian torsion is a gynecological emergency generally affecting women of reproductive age, and urgent surgicalintervention required to preserve ovarian function. Recurrent ipsilateral rarely seen but may causea severe decrease in capacity. Different surgical techniques have been described prevent this. The casepresented here 26-year old female with recurrent torsion, complicated by an rupture ...

background: proanthocyanidin is a potent bioactive antioxidant naturally occurring in grape seed and acts as reactive oxygen species (ros) scavenger. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of proanthocyanidinin in experimental ovarian torsion injury.   methods : twenty four rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=8). group 1: the laparotomy group, group 2: ovarian torsion ...

Pediatric ovarian torsion is an infrequent diagnosis and it often mimics acute appendicitis. Most cases are due to underlying ovarian pathology and if left untreated, ovarian torsion may eventually cause peritonitis. Emergency exploratory laparoscopy represents a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool in suspected ovarian torsion.
