Article Abstract
An emergency medical evaluation for ovarian torsion should be conducted on any female who complains of stomach pain. More women in the reproductive age range experience ovarian torsion. Ovarian torsion presenting postmenopausal is an uncommon occurrence. Torsion of ovaries can occur alone or with torsion of the fallopian tubes. Pain is the main presenting complaint, which may be accompanied by swelling, nausea, etc. In this instance, we have a 52-year-old woman who complained of lower abdominal pain on the right side. A transvaginal ultrasonography (USG) was done, and torsion of the right ovary was found. On further exploration, it was found to be gangrenous.
