“…[4][5][6][7][8] Many anatomic and physiologic factors predispose a woman to experience torsion of the ovary, but the true etiology is not always identified. Pregnant women who conceive as a result of controlled ovarian stimulation are at greater risk for the development of ovarian torsion 5,6 as seen in our case series. With an increasing number of women undergoing assisted reproductive technology with controlled ovarian stimulation, it is essential for physicians to suspect ovarian torsion when confronted with a patient presenting with acute onset abdominal pain, nausea, and/or vomiting.…”

“…This implies that full arterial constriction does not often occur; rather the edema and venous stasis may cause the mottled appearance of the affected ovary. 4,6 The imaging study of choice to diagnose ovarian torsion is Doppler ultrasound, as it may show absent or reduced blood flow to the ovary. 8 The ovary appears unilaterally enlarged with edema and multiple cystic structures that often are accompanied by some degree of ascites.…”

“…10 Adnexal torsion in these cases may occur at any time during gestation, although its incidence decreases as the gestational age increases. [12][13][14] In contrast, torsion of the normal adnexa during pregnancy or the postpartum period is uncommon, and the true incidence of such a rare condition is unclear. According to the previously reported literature, torsion of a normal ovary predominantly occurs in premenarchal female patients, in whom torsion involving previously normal adnexa may constitute up to 15% to 50% of adnexal torsion cases.…”

“…Adnexal torsion can occur at any age. It is estimated that 70-80 % of adnexal torsions occur in women of reproductive age, and 12-25 % of women with torsion are pregnant [21]. It is commonly associated with an increase of the ovarian size and weight.…”
