Abstract |
Background |
Ovarian torsion during pregnancy is a rare event and occurs mostly during the first trimester. This is the first case describing the diagnosis and management of an ovarian torsion at 33 weeks in a twin pregnancy with a normal term delivery.
Case summary |
The patient presented with irregular uterine contraction due to an acute abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa. A cyst was discovered during the ultrasound scan on the right ovary and a torsion was highly suspected. A small laparotomy facing the ovarian mass after an ultrasound guidance was chosen. The patient finally delivered at 37 weeks.
Conclusion |
The clinic holds a preponderant place in the diagnosis of ovarian torsion. Our surgical approach by laparotomy under ultrasound guidance was less risky than by laparoscopy.
