Abstract

The adnexal torsion is a non-common illness in Gynecology. It appears in adolescents and young women, and becomes complex when involves the cystic ovary with its pedicle and the Fallopian tubes in the same side where the cyst is coiled. The existence of a partial or total torsion of both components is less frequent; it produces the symptoms of acute abdominal pain with congestion, ischemia and necrosis of the ovary and the tube. A non-common case in medical literature is presented here; a complicated adnexal torsion where the distortion was not possible and a surgical treatment had to be implemented with a total left adnexectomy in a premenopausal 46-year-old patient.
