CT findings of adnexal torsion: A matched case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of our study was to assess computed tomographic (CT) findings of adnexal torsion through a matched case-control analysis.

Materials and methods

This retrospective, single-institution case-control study included 43 women with adnexal torsion and 43 age- and ovarian mass-matched control women. CT images were evaluated independently by two readers for the following: prominent peripheral follicles, uterine deviation, thickened pedicles, a whirl sign, and a navel sign. Comparisons of CT findings were performed using the Chi square test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were obtained to assess the diagnostic performance. Differences between the areas under the ROC curves (AUCs) were compared by using a Delong test.
