Background: Adnexal torsion is a common diagnostic challenge in an emergency setting. It has an incidence of 2–15%. Diagnosis is mainly based on clinical symptoms and imaging techniques such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), however, a normal ultrasound scan does not exclude adnexal torsion and the decision to operate should be made on clinical grounds.
Methodology: Data from 24 patients who were known cases of adnexal torsion was retrieved from the hospital registry to conduct a retrospective analysis of patients.
Conclusion: Appropriate diagnosis and timely surgical gynecological intervention are of utmost importance to preserve ovarian function.
