Bladder Mimic on Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Acute Retention of Urine in Woman - An Unusual Presentation of Ovarian Torsion

Abstract

Conclusion:Acute urinary retention in women is uncommon. Investigations should focus on identifying reversible causes. Ovarian torsion positioned anteriorly to the bladder can be mistaken for the bladder on point-of-care ultrasound in women presenting with acute urinary retention. It is important for the emergency physician to recognise this ultrasound mimic so that timely diagnosis would not be delayed.
