Abstract:
Ovarian teratomas (OT) are rarely first diagnosed in the emergency department (ED) setting. They are less likely to present with acute symptoms unless associated with more serious pathological conditions, such as ovarian torsion, which is considered a gynecological emergency that patients with OT are at risk of developing. We present a patient who complained of abdominal pain, and was diagnosed with an OT using Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS).

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
