Problem lists Ovarian cyst with ovarian torsion amoebiasis Question and comments ???? 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 14

INTRODUCTION O varian torsion is a gynecologic condition that can involve partial or complete rotation of the ovary. It frequently affects the infundibulo pelvic and utero-ovarian ligaments. One of the most frequent gynecologic crises 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 15

DIAGNOSIS A definitive diagnosis of ovarian torsion is based upon surgical findings. The clinical diagnosis  High index of suspicion! The clinical diagnosis of ovarian torsion should be considered with the triads; lower abdominal pain ovarian cyst/mass diminished or absent blood flow in the ovarian vessels, after exclusion of other causes In our case: Lower abdominal pain Ovarian cyst Diminished blood flow 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 16

Sonography Ultrasonography is the first‐line diagnostic assessment S onographic findings can vary widely depending on the degree of vascular compromise, the characteristics of any associated intraovarian or intratubal mass, and the presence or absence of adnexal hemorrhage. Sonographically , torsion may mimic ectopic pregnancy, tubo -ovarian abscess , hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, and endometrioma . Accordingly , rates of correct diagnosis range from 50 to 75 percent 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 17

Sonographic findings Ovarian edema Enlarged ovary (>4cm) Midline ovarian position Variable echogenicity (hypo- or hyperechoic ) Peripherally displaced multiple follicles with hyperechoic central stroma Free Pelvic fluid in >80% of cases An underlying ovarian lesion may be seen (Possible lead point) In our case Enlarged ovary (7*4.8cm) Prominent peripheral follicles with central echogenic stroma Mild pelvic free rluid 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 18

Sonographic findings cont … Heterogeneously enlarged ovary is the most common ultrasound finding In some cases of torsion, the ovaries continue to have a normal appearance and blood flow. Presence of normal appearing ovaries does not rule out the diagnosis. 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 19

Doppler Findings Little or no ovarian venous flow (sensitivity-100% & specificity-97%) Absent arterial flow (less common, sign of poor prognosis) Normal vascularity (doesn’t rule out intermittent torsion or dual supply from ovarian and uterine arteries) Tenderness to transducer pressure Bull's-eye target, whirlpool, or snail shell Follicular ring sign In our case Rt pelvic tenderness Decreased flow 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 20

4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 21

Objective : A systematic review and meta-analysis was done to compare the test accuracy of ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose AT. Ultrasound sensitivity was 79% and specificity was 76%. Doppler ultrasound sensitivity 80% and specificity 88 %. For MRI sensitivity was 81% and specificity was 91%. Conclusions : Ultrasound has good performance as a first-line diagnostic test for suspected AT. MRI could offer improved specificity to investigate complex ovarian morphology, but more evidence is needed. 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 22

Laboratory tests C BC HCT serum electrolytes Urine HCG Tumor markers In our case Slight leukocytosis with neutrophil predominance 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 23

Differential diagnosis Ectopic pregnancy Ruptured or hemorrhagic cysts Appendicitis Pelvic inflammatory disease Degenerating leiomyoma Endometriosis 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 24

MANAGEMENT  Torsion is considered as an emergency The mainstay of treatment is surgery Removal of the affected ovary Conservative surgery Multiple reports over the past 15 years have described Minimally invasive procedures that detorsed and preserved the ovary  return of normal hormonal function and fertility. Ovarian removal  ovarian evaluation and likely preservation, even in the face of a dusky, seemingly necrotic appearance . 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 25

Management cont.. Premenopausal patients with a viable, nonmalignant ovary: Detorsion Other patients: Salpingo -oophorectomy  Nonviable ovary  Suspicion for malignancy Postmenopausal patients    4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 26

Management cont.. Traditionally, salpingoophorectomy was recommended as the standard treatment for adnexal torsion due to fear of thromboembolism. But now, conservative treatment that consists of untwisting the adnexa followed by cystectomy or cyst aspiration is the management of choice . In our case Detorsion and cyst aspiration done 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 27

conclusion E ven necrotic-looking ovaries may benefit from ovary sparing detorsion without oophorectomy. Visual appearance of a necrotic ovary during surgery is not a good predictor of necrosis on subsequent histopathology. While our results suggest that detorsion without oophorectomy could be the mainstay treatment in ovarian torsion Further investigation is required to assess the safety and viability of the ovaries that were preserved following detorsion , and confirm that necrosis did not develop afterwards 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 29

Conclusion Several articles have previously discussed conservative management of ovarian torsion,. The care of suspected ovarian torsion, which can happen at any age, from prepubertal to postmenopausal, is surgical. According to earlier research, ovarian torsion necessitates oophorectomy because untwisting the ovarian pedicle could result in emboli. Recent research has suggested that detorsion combined with ovarian cystectomy should be the first line of treatment . If a cyst is present, normal ovarian function often follows, even in ovaries that do not first appear to be viable. This management is crucial for young ladies and prepubescent girls. Oophoropexy might be useful for avoiding recurrent torsion. 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 30

PREVENTION OF RECURRENCE The role of ovarian suppression with oral contraceptives or oophoropexy for the prevention of recurrent torsion events remains uncertain. 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 34

summary Ovarian torsion has been attributed to a variety of etiologies: Cysts and neoplasms accounted for 94 percent of cases . Ultrasonography is the first‐line diagnostic assessment The two most common clinical presentations of ovarian torsion are: pelvic pain, which is usually acute and adnexal mass A definitive diagnosis of ovarian torsion is based upon surgical findings. Torsion is considered as an emergency the mainstay of treatment is surgery: removal of the affected ovary or conservative surgery Currently the management of choice for ovarian torsion is conservative treatment that consists of untwisting the adnexa followed by cystectomy or cyst aspiration. 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 35

comments Referral from health center was appropriate and timely. EGOPD Evaluation was timely (at arrival ). T he diagnosis of amoebiasis is based on??? (result is not available) and the duration of antibiotic is long ( 7 days is enough ). Procedure done is appropriate and timely. No documentation about sending histopathology from aspirated fluid?? Follow up after surgery is not as ordered. No clear documentation about subsequent follow up. 4/3/2023 By Dr. MEKONNEN G. 36
