title: Adnexal torsion: color Doppler diagnosis and laparoscopic treatment.
abstract: The present case documents normalization of ovarian perfusion after conservative laparoscopic treatment of adnexal torsion. At our institution, Doppler flow assessment in cases of suspected torsion represents an important element of diagnosis and, in this case, allowed for early diagnosis with conservative laparoscopic treatment with documented normalization of ovarian flow postoperatively.
