What is an ovary torsion?

An uncommon but serious condition called ovarian torsion (also known as adnexal torsion) occurs when the ovary, and sometimes the fallopian tube, twist on the tissues that support them. This cuts off the blood supply to the ovary, which if not treated promptly, can cause tissue in the organ to die.

Is ovarian torsion a clinical diagnosis?

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.

What size cyst causes ovarian torsion?

Torsion is most likely to occur when the ovary is 5 cm in diameter or larger [20,23,24]. This represents an average, and torsion may occur with an ovary of any size; in general, as the size of the ovary increases, the risk of torsion increases.

Can you have a partial ovarian torsion?

If left untreated, it results in interruption of blood and lymphatic supply to the ovary and the fallopian tube with resultant infarction and loss of function.

Can ovarian torsion cause death?

Ovarian torsion may lead to complications, especially the death of the ovarian tissue (ovarian necrosis).

How long does it take to recover from ovarian torsion surgery?
