Abstract

ABSTRACTOvarian torsion is an uncommon gynecological emergency that requires prompt recognition and treatment. Timely investigation and management can make the difference between ovarian loss and salvage, an outcome of great importance in the population of reproductive age females. Our case series is about clinical presentation and management approach of adnexal torsion in a tertiary care fertility center. Adnexal torsion was found mainly in the reproductive age during poststimulation postovulatory period in all cases. Ultrasound was the most commonly used imaging modality. Ovarian stimulation was the risk factor seen in all the patients. Diagnosis of adnexal torsion was mostly clinical. Laparoscopy was the preferred method of surgical intervention. Ovarian conservation was possible in all cases except one.How to cite this articleGarg N, Krishna D, Rathor S, Rao K. Ovarian Torsion: A Gynecological Emergency.
