Abstract
Abstract Background Adnexal torsion is a gynaecologic emergency caused by partial or complete twisting of the mesovarium; accounting for 3% of all gynaecological surgeries. We report a rare presentation of bilateral adnexal torsion within a period of 4 months in normal appearing ovaries. Case A 35-year-old women underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy for third-degree uterine prolapse presented with left adnexal torsion within 45 days post surgery and later right adnexal torsion within a span of 2 months. She underwent laparoscopic left salpingo-oophorectomy and laparoscopic right oophoropexy later. Conclusion Predisposing factors for adnexal torsion is not known and its recurrence is definitely a concern. The importance of early diagnosis and surgical intervention in adnexal torsion is highlighted in a report showing delay of intervention for 36 h resulting in significant congestion and necrosis.
