[Organ torsion and abdominal symptoms--diagnosis].
The authors reflect on the etiology of torsions of intraabdominal organs and the testes. They mention anamnestic data, which may lead to suspicion of possible organ torsion. They analyze the clinical picture of a patient who suffered such an attack. The authors submit a list of diagnostic possibilities using modern imaging methods: sonography, computed tomography, angiography, scintigraphy and magnetic resonance. They discuss laparoscopy as a diagnostic and therapeutic method.
