Transabdominal ultrasound for positive, negative, and equivocal ovarian and tubal torsion in girls
A standardized transabdominal US protocol yields high ovarian visualization rates, and treating equivocal reads as positive can optimize diagnostic accuracy when combined with clinical decision-making. US maybe be less accurate in detecting tubal torsion compared to isolated ovarian torsion, but this finding should be interpreted with caution given the small sample size. Overall, these results provide clinically relevant insights to guide management and future research in pediatric adnexal torsion.
