Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to draw attention to the clinical, sonographic,intraoperative, and pathological signs and symptoms ofhistopathologically confirmed ovarian torsion cases and their relationshipwith each other.Methods: The medical data of histopathologically confirmed ovariantorsion cases, which were diagnosed and operated in the 10-year period,were retrospectively analyzed. Data were analyzed according todemographical, clinicopathological, and sonographic findings.Results: Mean age was 33.6±13.8 years. Abdominal or pelvic pain wasthe main symptom in all patients with ovarian torsion in our study.The main sonographic findings were diffused ovarian hyperechogenicity,increased ovarian size, and free fluid (periovarian or in cul-desac).In Doppler sonography, 2/3 of the patients showed abnormalfindings. 75% of patients had been urgent intervention. The meanintervention time was 49 hours. The number of ovarian pedicles twistingwas approximately 3. The twisting count of pedicle was higherin cases with abnormal Doppler sonographic findings. In the 75% cases,torsioned ovaries were black. Statistically, the twisting number ofblack ovaries was higher and intervention time was shorter. Adnexectomywas the main surgical procedure.Conclusion: To maximize the chance of right diagnosis of ovarian torsion,we should carefully investigate acute abdominopelvic pain andcombine the sonographic and Doppler findings with clinical features.Early diagnosis and early surgical intervention allow continuation ofovarian viability and preservation of fertility.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, özellikle reprodüktif çağda görülen ve kolay tanı konulamayan over torsiyonunun önemine dikkat çekmektir. Yöntemler: Son 10 yılda cerrahi müdahale edilen ve cerrahi olarak over torsiyonu tanısı almış olan hastaların tıbbi kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Ortalama yaş 33,6 olarak saptandı. Tüm hastaların başvuru şikayeti ağrı idi. En belirgin sonografik bulgu, solid ve boyutları artmış overin diffüz heterojenitesi ve periovaryan serbest sıvı görülmesi idi. Doppler incelemede, vakaların 2/3’ünde anormal bulguya rastlandı. Vakaların %75’ine acil müdahalede bulunuldu. Ortalama müdahale zamanı 49 saat olarak tespit edildi. Ortalama ovaryan pedikül dönüş sayısı yaklaşık 3 idi. Doppler bulgusu olan vakalarda torsiyon dönüş sayısı daha fazla idi. Vakaların %75 inde torsiyone overin rengi siyah idi. İstatistiksel olarak, siyah izlenen overlerin dönüş sayısı daha fazlaydı ve müdahale zamanı daha kısa olarak izlendi. Vakaların %89’unda cerrahi prosedür salpingo-ooferektomi idi. Sonuç: Vakalarımızda doğru tanı koyma şansımızı artırmak için, akut abdominopelvik ağrıyı dikkatle incelemeli, sonografik ve doppler bulguları ile kombine bir değerlendirme yapmalıyız. Erken tanı ve cerrahi müdahale, over rezervi ve fertilite kapasitesini koruduğu için özellikle reprodüktif çağdaki kadınlarda erken ve doğru tanı özellikle önem kazanmaktadır.
