The sensitivity and specificity of abnormal ovarian flow are 44% and 92%, respectively, with a positive and negative predictive value of 78% and 71%, respectively. [7] Specific flow features on Doppler sonography include: [8] Little or no intra-ovarian venous flow. This is commonly seen in ovarian torsion. Absent arterial flow.
Ovarian teratomas often present with abdominal or pelvic pain, caused by torsion of the ovary or irritation of its ligaments. A recently discovered condition where ovarian teratomas cause encephalitis associated with antibodies against the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibody (NMDAR) - often referred to as " anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis ...
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a medical condition that can occur in some women who take fertility medication to stimulate egg growth, and in other women in sporadic cases. Most cases are mild, but rarely the condition is severe and can lead to serious illness or even death.
The most accurate ultrasound test can detect 96% of ovarian cancers in postmenopausal women, new research suggests. The findings indicate that the test should replace the current standard of care ...
Ovarian torsion may be more likely during pregnancy, especially during the third and fourth months of pregnancy, as the internal anatomy shifts to accommodate fetal growth. [5] Diagnosis relies on clinical examination and ultrasound imaging. [5] Cysts larger than 4 cm are associated with approximately 17% risk. [citation needed]
to diagnose and manage gynecologic problems including endometriosis, leiomyoma, adenomyosis, ovarian cysts and lesions, to identify adnexal masses, including ectopic pregnancy, to diagnose gynecologic cancer; in infertility treatments to track the response of ovarian follicles to fertility medication (i.e. Pergonal). However, it often ...
[3]: 103 Ultrasonography is a sensitive enough imaging tool that it can accurately differentiate between pregnancy, hemorrhagic ovarian cysts, endometriosis, ovarian torsion, and tubo-ovarian abscess. Its availability, the relative advancement in the training of its use, its low cost, and because it does not expose the woman (or fetus) to ...
Endometrioma can potentially lead to premature ovarian failure, decreased ovarian function, or problems with ovulation. [4] Studies have also found that endometriomas occur two times more frequently in the left ovary (67%) than in the right one (33%), possibly due to the presence of the sigmoid colon on the left side.
