TL;DR
Sonographic findings of ovarian torsion vary with age, and color Doppler signal can be documented in many twisted ovaries in prepubertal and pubertal girls.
Abstract
Sonographic findings of ovarian torsion vary with age. Neonates and young children have extrapelvic cystic or complex cystic masses, whereas pubertal girls have predominantly solid masses in an adnexal location. In both groups of patients, color Doppler signal can be documented in many twisted ovaries.

In all cases the affected ovary was markedly enlarged; in 32% of cases a small amount of fluid was detected in the cul-de-sac; and more significant in terms of specificity was the demonstration in 14 (74%) of the 19 cases of small cystic structures scattered around the periphery of the organ.

Of the 14 postnatal cases, 8 were associated with additional ovarian pathology whereas in 6 cases the torsion was of normal uterine adnexa, and in all cases Hemorrhagic necrosis of theAdnexa was found in all Cases except one, and necessitated adnexal resection.
