Abstract

Ovarian torsion is infrequently seen in the emergency department, however, a delay in diagnosis and treatment can lead to necrosis and loss of the ovary (E. D. Shraga & M. Blanda, 2008). A patient with pelvic pain diagnosed with ovarian torsion is presented in this article. The diagnosis and treatment of ovarian torsion is discussed to help the advanced practice nurse gain a better understanding of this frequently missed problem.
