ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To investigate specific MRI findings for the prompt diagnosis of tubal torsion by reviewing 12 cases. METHODS: The MRI findings presenting surgically and pathologically proven isolated tubal torsion were evaluated. RESULTS: Key specific findings, including whirlpool sign and plicae tubaliae, were frequently associated with the diseases and were grouped for three types. CONCLUSION: Knowledge of specific MRI findings and the types of tubal torsion may lead to a correct and prompt diagnosis, resulting in preservation of fertility.
