ABSTRACT: Background: Radiographic studies largely contribute to prompt diagnosis of ovarian torsion, though post-operative changes are not described and might contribute to unnecessary intervention. Case: We report a case of ovarian torsion diagnosed based on clinical presentation and radiographic findings. The detorsion was successfully performed through laparosopic access. Subsequently patient presented for elective ultrasonography and MRI which diagnosed multicystic ovarian mass, attributed to hematoma which resolved spontaneously with no intervention in 3 weeks. Conclusion: Ovarian changes after detorsion consistent with development of hematoma may be benign and resolve spontaneously.
