Case Discussion
A young female presented with right-sided lower abdominal pain with vomiting. Ultrasound shows a right ovarian cyst with a twisted vascular pedicle (whirlpool sign) which is a primary sign of ovarian torsion.
Surgery was done within few hours which confirmed the findings. Intra-operative findings revealed a right ovarian hemorrhagic cyst. The ovary could not be salvaged.
