Medial or Lateral Location of the Whirlpool Sign in Adnexal Torsion

Abstract: Objectives The whirlpool sign is used as a sonographic marker for adnexal torsion. The aims of this study were to describe the location of the whirlpool sign (lateral or medial to the ovary) and to evaluate the clinical importance of the location. Methods : Thirty patients with a confirmed surgical diagnosis of torsion and a positive whirlpool sign on sonography before surgery were included. We examined the sonographic clips of these patients. Classic signs of adnexal torsion were determined: ovarian edema, th… Show more

“…In this condition, usually an ovary twist around their ligaments which hold it in its normal place. Hence, this condition can lead to cutting off the blood flow to the uterine tube (oviduct) and the ovary (1). Accurate diagnosis and management of ovarian torsion is important, especially for women who are in childbirth age (2,3) Detorsion or opening the twist is one of the interventions that are performed to prevent ovarian tissue loss (3).…”

“…PCNA confirms the viability of the counted follicles and appears to be a more precise approach necessary for demonstrating the functional status than net mean primordial+primary follicle count which were comparable in twisted and control sides. Navve D et al [15] associated the lateral whirlpool sign with enlarged masses the mean volume of which among cases was significantly greater by 2.81-fold than those with the medial whirlpool sign (P = 0.035). Sánez HA et al [16] described that adnexal torsion over its pedicle produces lymphatic and venous stasis, later it develops into ischemia and necrosis, when is not treated.…”
