Ovarian torsion is a rare but emergency condition in women. Early diagnosis is necessary to preserve the function of the ovaries and tubes and prevent severe morbidity. Ovarian torsion refers to complete or partial rotation of the adnexal supporting organ with ischemia. It can affect females of all ages. Ovarian torsion occurs in around 2%–15% of patients who have surgical treatment of adnexal masses. The main risk in ovarian torsion is an ovarian mass. The most common symptom of ovarian torsion is acute onset of pelvic pain, followed by nausea and vomiting. Pelvic ultrasonography can provide information on ovarian cysts. Once ovarian torsion is suspected, surgery or detorsion is the mainstay of diagnosis and treatment.

“…Awareness of this condition and early laparoscopy in cases of unexplained acute lower abdominal pain may result in early diagnosis and possible preservation of the affected tube (8), although spontaneous detorsion can occur (9). Nevertheless, Raziel et al (10) described a rare case of recurrent tubal torsion, so the possibility of recurrent torsion of the tube should be considered.…”
