We report a very rare case of ovarian torsion following controlled ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization in which no oocytes were obtained at the time of ovum retrieval from the left torsed ovary. The patient was a 33-year-old nulligravida female undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation. On day 14, the patient complained of lower left abdominal pain with nausea. Transvaginal oocyte retrieval from the right ovary was performed. The patient subsequently underwent laparoscopy 6 hours following oocyte retrieval. A portion of the left ovary was observed. The ovary was detorsed at the time of laparoscopy followed by peritoneal lavage.

Objective: To develop and validate an individualized nomogram for predicting adnexal torsion in women with abdominal pain and an adnexal mass based on preoperative non-contrast computed tomography (CT) findings.
Methods: This retrospective study included 200 women with surgically resected ovarian lesions who underwent preoperative non-contrast CT for abdominal pain from January 2017 to September 2023 in seven hospitals. The 200 patients were randomly divided into a development group (140 cases) and a validation group (60 cases).

Purpose: Due to its increased volume, polycystic ovarian tissue is more prone to torsion than normal ovarian tissue. In treating ovarian torsion, detorsion is applied to ensure oxygenation of hypoxic tissues. However, the resulting oxygen radicals cause tissue damage.

Cancer during pregnancy is uncommon. Symptoms caused by new cancers in pregnancy can be difficult to recognise leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Ovarian cancer during pregnancy poses a further diagnostic challenge due to the vague symptoms that it can present, along with difficulty in the interpretation of tumour markers.

Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) is a rare cause of surgical emergency and is difficult to diagnose. We present a case of IFTT in a 14-year-old girl who presented with an acute abdomen. Based on the clinical and computed tomographic findings, an initial diagnosis of ovarian torsion was considered.
