(A-C) Transvaginal ultrasound examination in the 6th week of gestation revealed a viable, singleton intrauterine pregnancy. The crown-rump length was 5.0 mm, and the patient had bilateral enlarged ovaries (right: 6.9 cm x 4.5 cm, left: 4.5 cm x 3.2 cm) with scanty ascites. Doppler ultrasonography revealed normal ovarian blood flow.

The uterus appeared normal in size and shape (Fig. 2A). The left ovary was cystic and slightly enlarged with no evidence of torsion (Fig. 2B).
(A-D) The right ovary was twisted once around over the pedicle and was 6.4 cm x 4.0 cm in diameter. The right ovarian wall was twisted and showed hemorrhagic and congestive changes but no necrosis. Laparoscopic detorsion was performed carefully, and the twisted right ovary was released with relative ease. The ovary's ischemic bluish color improved quickly.
