Enlarged left ovary (7.5 x 6.5 x 5.5 cm) of intermediate signal intensity on T1WI, low signal intensity on T2WI, containing a corpus luteal cyst as well as peripherally displaced follicles with twisted vascular pedicle giving the appearance of a whirlpool sign. The postcontrast sequences show a thin rim of peripheral enhancement (infarcted ovary). Mild intraperitoneal effusion.
