Abstract

Objective: To present a rare case of ovarian torsion in the second trimester of a pregnancy. Case: A 28 years old patient on her 25th gestational week with gravida 1, parity 0 admitted to our emergency unit with the complaints of right lower quadrant pain. A hypoechogenic pelvic mass in 6 cm diameter was defined under the costolumbar area by ultrasound and no doppler flow was obtained. Salpingoophorectomy was performed by laparatomy due to the torsion and necrosis of the right ovary. The patient was discharged on the second day after the operation without any complication. Conclusion: Ovarian torsion must be considered and should be excluded in pregnant patients who applied to emergency room with the complaints of acute abdominal pain.
