Acute loin pain is commonly seen in daily practice, and obstructing urinary tract stone is one of the top diagnoses. The diagnostic modality of choice includes urinalysis, X-ray of the Kidney, Ureter and Bladder (KUB), ultrasonography (USG) and noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT). Important life-threatening differential diagnoses including abdominal aortic aneurysm, ovarian torsion and acute...

In this case we report a 23 -year-old primigravida with 30 weeks presenting with torsion of the ovarian cyst. She presented to the antenatal clinic with acute pain abdomen. She was diagnosed to have torsion of ovarian cyst during pregnancy and a cystecomy was carried out. Her histopathology report showed a benign serous cystadenoma. Her pregnancy was followed up. She delivered a healthy female ...

Ovarian torsion, also known as adnexal torsion, is an infrequent cause of acute abdominal pain (AAP) in adult women (2.7% of cases of acute gynecologic complaints) which typically affects the ovary and the fallopian tube [1]. In most cases it is caused by a reduced venous return from the ovary, usually consequent to stromal edema, internal hemorrhage or presence of an obstructing mass [1]. Howe...

The present article is aimed at describing the key findings of ovarian torsion at computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Two investigators have consensually selected and analyzed magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography images acquired in the period from January 2010 to December 2011 of patients with proven acute abdominal pain resulting from ovarian torsion, highlighting...

Background: Ovarian torsion is an important gynecological emergency and various agents are used in the experimental phase to prevent ovarian injury. The aim of this study was determine effect granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) use on ischemia/reperfusion injury torsion/detorsion model rat ovary. Methods: Twenty-eight Wistar-albino rats were randomly divided into four groups. first gr...

Patients with acute abdominal pain often end up in the emergency department for surgical treatment. Ovarian cysts can lead to an abdomen due torsion (twisting) or rupture. In this case report we are going present a 70 y/o female patient left adnexal torsion, presence of ovarian cyst, presented as abdomen. The was enrolled abdomen, nausea and vomiting. After initial evaluation including Computer...

We report the first case of bilateral adnexal torsion complicated by concomitant entanglement of both adnexas. The clinical presenting symptoms and signs were similar to those described in unilateral adnexal torsion without adnexal entanglement. The final diagnosis was established by diagnostic laparoscopy, and aspiration of one of the ovarian cysts was required to disentangle the adnexas.

Adnexal torsion is responsible for 2.7% of all gynecological emergencies. Ectopic pregnancy is relatively common, occurring in 2% of all pregnancies. We report the second case of ruptured right tubal ectopic gestation with torsion of serous cystadenoma of left ovary. This was diagnosed after emergency laparoscopy done for acute abdomen. Right salpingectomy and left ovarian detorsion followed by...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the protective effect of erdosteine, an antiapoptotic and antioxidant agent, on torsion-detorsion evoked histopathological changes in experimental ovarian ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen female Wistar albino rats were used in control, IR, and IR+Edosteine (IR-E) groups, (n=6 in each). The IR-E group received the erdosteine for seven days...

AIM Ovarian cysts in the newborn period are simple cysts which resolve on their own. Complications like torsion leading to loss of ovarian units are well documented. Surgical treatment should always be performed in a way to protect the ovaries and to ensure future fertility. The aim of this study was to study the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic management of neonatal ovarian cysts. MATERI...
