Torsion of Para-Ovarian Cyst Resulting in Secondary Torsion of the Fallopian Tube: A Cause of Acute Abdomen

Ultrasonography of the abdomen revealed a cystic structure in the right adnexa, probably with torsion.

| Summary: | A 32-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain in the left lower quadrant, of one day’s duration. Ultrasonography of the abdomen
revealed a cystic structure in the right adnexa, probably with torsion. Computerized tomography of abdomen and pelvis showed a large
pelvic cyst which arose most likely from the left ovary. An urgent laparotomy was done, which however showed a twisted para-ovarian cyst
with a twisted fallopian tube on the left side. The para-ovarian cyst was removed along with left sided fallopian tube and the patient made
an uneventful recovery. Torsion of a para-ovarian cyst and fallopian tube is rare, but it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of
acute abdomen in women who are in the reproductive age group. |
