Objective To explore the diagnostic value of MRI in adnexal torsion.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 32 patients with adnexal torsion confirmed by surgery and pathology.The MRI features were analyzed in combination with clinical data.Results Among the 32 cases of adnexal torsion,there were 12 cases of ovarian cyst,5 cases of cystic ovarian teratoma,4 cases of theca cell tumor,6 cases of ovarian cystadenoma,1 case of high-grade serous carcinoma,1 case of corpus luteum hematoma,1 case of simple ovarian torsion,1 case of ovarian goiter,1 case of fibrotheca cell tumor with serous cystadenoma;There were 13 cases on the left side and 19 cases on the right side;The torsion angle of adnexal was about 90 °-1 440 °.MRI showed that 13 of 32 patients were cystic masses and 19 were cystic solid masses;torsion pedicle can be seen near the mass,of which 13 cases showed"whirlpool sign",27 cases showed"T2WI dot low signal sign",10 cases showed"nodule sign",5 cases showed"triangle sign",and 9 cases had structural disorder around the mass.Enhancement showed no obvious enhancement in 12 cases,and mild enhancement in 20 cases.Thirty cases complicated with pelvic effusion;The uterus moved to the affected side in 9 cases,to the healthy side in 20 cases,and no obvious deviation in 3 cases.Conclusion The MRI imaging features of adnexal torsion are characteristic,which are cystic or cystic solid lesions.The torsion pedicle is characterized by"whirlpool sign"and"T2WI dot low signal sign",etc.The enhancement is mild or no enhancement.Combined with the clinical history,it is of great value for the preoperative diagnosis and treatment of adnexal torsion.
