Ovarian torsion is a well known but poorly recognised disease and prompt treatment is necessary to avoid adverse outcomes. We report a patient with severe right flank pain initially diagnosed as renal colic. She was brought to our emergency department because of persistent pain. After further investigation, ovarian torsion caused by teratoma was diagnosed. Because of the timely management, the patient made a good recovery. This is an uncommon but important case that emergency physicians should be aware of.
卵巢扭转是一种广为人知但却认识不足的疾病，及时治疗对于避免不良后果至关重要。我们报告一例最初被诊断为肾绞痛的严重右侧腰痛患者。因疼痛持续，她被送至我们的急诊科。经过进一步检查，诊断为由畸胎瘤引起的卵巢扭转。由于治疗及时，患者恢复良好。这是一个罕见但重要的病例，急诊医生应予以关注。
