Abstract
Torsion of the ovary is rare but serious cause of gynecologic emergency. Diagnosis of ovarian torsion (OT) is difficult. Ultrasonography has no specific finding for diagnosis of OT, it is initial imaging technique. Presence of vascular flow detected by doppler USG doesn’t exclude diagnosis of OT but, absence of vascular flow is suspicious for diagnosis. The main challenge about diagnosis is that many of patients undergo surgery without confirmed diagnosis while rapid clinical workup and surgical treatment are keys to preserve fertility. Specific biomarkers supporting diagnosis of OT aren’t currently available. Aim of article is to make an overview of OT.
