Sequential Bilateral Torsion of a Normal Ovary at 31 Weeks of Gestation and 12 Months Following Delivery.

ABSTRACT

Torsion of a normal ovary should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain in the third trimester. Accurate diagnosis and early surgical intervention is essential to avoid fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. We herein report a case of torsion of a normal ovary alone at 31 weeks of gestation following a spontaneous conception and again torsion of right normal ovary 14 months later. We had to do oophorectomy in both instances since the ovaries were gangrenous.
