Abstract

Two twisted fetal ovarian cysts were detected antenatally by routine ultrasonographic examination. Serial changes of twisted ovarian cysts can be monitored by ultrasonic observation. If signs of torsion appear, obstetricians should consider prompt delivery in order to preserve the patient's fertility.
