Multimodality imaging in adnexal torsion

Aruna R Patil et al. J Med Imaging Radiat Oncol. 2015 Feb.

Abstract

Adnexal torsions are one among the causes of acute pelvic pain in females. Commonly occurring adnexal torsions are ovarian either involving the normal ovary with functional cysts or an associated mass. Fallopian tube torsions, torsions involving paraovarian, fimbrial cysts and subserosal fibroids are rare. Here we discuss the multimodality imaging approach for the diagnosis of adnexal torsion, its limitations and mimics.

Keywords: computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; torsion; ultrasonography.
