Ovarian torsion in a 23-year-old female with pelvic pain
Adv Emerg Nurs J.
2009 Apr-Jun.
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.
