Abstract
Adnexal torsion is an uncommon cause of surgical emergency during pregnancy. It accounts for 2.7% of all gynecological emergencies. Its incidence is 1 in 5000 pregnancies, occurring more frequently in the first trimester after ovarian hyperstimulation as treatment for infertility. Traditionally adnexal torsion presenting as acute abdomen is managed by laparotomy. We report a case of adnexal torsion that was successfully managed by laparoscopy during pregnancy.
