ABSTRACT
Uterine adnexal torsion is a surgical condition that requires prompt diagnosis and intervention. An ultrasound examination demonstrating a unilaterally enlarged, hypoechoic ovary with several small spherical, peripherally located sonolucent structures in the involved ovary, in addition to a history and physical consistent with torsion, confirms the need for surgical intervention. In this article, we present a case of uterine adnexal torsion and discuss the etiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this entity.
