Abstract

Ovarian torsion is a common gynaecological emergency with nonspecific presentation, difficult diagnosis, delay in management leading to organ loss. Current approach is more towards detorsion and organ salvageability. This study was conducted to study the demographic data, clinical presentation, sonographic features, surgical and histopathological features in cases of ovarian torsion.
