ABSTRACT

Adnexal torsion is a rare pathology secondary to total or partial rotation of the adnexa around its vascular axis. The occurrence of adnexal torsion on a healthy ovary is an even rarer situation. Its diagnosis during pregnancy is complex because it requires the elimination of the classic differential diagnoses (appendicitis, cholecystitis, pyelonephritis or pancreatitis) but also those that may be related to the pregnancy (miscarriage, retroplacental hematoma, uterine rupture). The interest of this situation lies in its diagnostic difficulty, and in the choice of the adequate therapeutic approach. We present the case of an adnexal torsion on a healthy ovary in the second trimester of pregnancy.
