Sonographic Diagnosis of Ovarian Torsion

Abstract

In the setting of a specialized ultrasound unit, sonographic diagnosis of ovarian torsion had high (74.6%) accuracy compared with previous reports. The absence of typical sonographic signs does not rule out ovarian torsion, especially when the clinical presentation is suggestive. Basing assessments on multiple sonographic signs, including Doppler evaluation, increases the diagnostic specificity.
