ABSTRACT
To report preoperative gray-scale sonographic characteristics of adnexal Torsion. In a retrospective multi-centric study in 20 hospitals, 148 out of 3303 adnexal mass operations, proved histopathologically as Adnexal Torsion, were reviewed regarding age, involved side and gray-scale abdominal sonographic findings. Torsion occurred in 5% of benign adnexal surgeries. Mean age was 29 [SD=12], Mean mass diameter was 9 cm and they mostly revealed a cystic pattern [84%]. Free peritoneal fluid was seen in 29%. Right-sided involvement was shown in 62%. Gray-scale sonographic findings are valuable besides clinical findings to suspect adnexal Torsion
