  • Title: CT features of adnexal torsion.
    Author: Hiller N, Appelbaum L, Simanovsky N, Lev-Sagi A, Aharoni D, Sella T.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2007 Jul; 189(1):124-9. PubMed ID: 17579161.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Adnexal torsion is most commonly a clinical diagnosis, often aided by sonographic findings. At times, the clinical presentation can mimic nongynecologic causes of acute lower abdominal pain. In these cases, CT may be the initial imaging study. The purpose of this study was to define the CT features associated with adnexal torsion. CONCLUSION: On CT, a well-defined adnexal mass abnormally located in the pelvis with ipsilateral deviation of the uterus in a woman or girl with lower abdominal pain should raise the suspicion of adnexal torsion. Inflammatory signs on CT suggest the presence of necrosis.
