Adnexal torsion: the contribution of color Doppler sonography to diagnosis and post-operative follow-up

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 1995 Sep;62(1):121-3. doi: 10.1016/0301-2115(95)02094-n.

Abstract

Ovarian torsion is often difficult to diagnose due to non-specific clinical and clinical and ultrasonographic findings. We demonstrated the use of color Doppler for the early diagnosis of ovarian torsion and for post-operative follow-up until the normalization of the preserved ovary was confirmed by subsequent viable pregnancy. Color Doppler flow assessment can be useful as both a diagnostic tool and for evaluating the recovery of the affected ovary after conservative surgical treatment.
