Abstract
Ovarian torsion is a condition that can occur in a normal ovary, but it is more likely to happen when the presence of a cyst or other tissues (tumor) in the ovary can displace it. The extra weight or mass on the ovary can cause it to start to twist and rotate around its supporting ligaments. Ovarian torsion can cause severe pain, more frequently on the right-hand side. However, in some cases, the clinical course is prolonged, as the torsion can be intermittent. Early diagnosis and surgery are essential to protect ovarian and tubal function and prevent severe morbidity ending with annessiectomy. The ovarian cyst is an insidious risk factor for ovarian torsion and can cause sudden lower abdominal pain and loss of ovarian function with possible legal implications and malpractice. A timely diagnosis of ovarian cyst is of paramount importance to prevent necrosis and preserve ovarian viability. To avoid such a dangerous complication, it is essential the preventive management of the cyst. A cyst becomes a problem when it does not go away or gets bigger. The treatment of ovarian cysts depends on several factors but the size of the cyst and its appearance need to be monitored.
