An Unexpected Cause of Abdominal Pain in Pregnancy: A Case Report

Abstract

Acute abdomen during pregnancy is a condition that requires rapid diagnosis and treatment and threatens both maternal and fetal health. Adnexal masses may present different clinical presentations during pregnancy. The important thing is rapid diagnosis and application of the appropriate treatment method. Adnexal torsion should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with acute abdomen during pregnancy. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital for organ-preserving surgery. In this article, we presented the successful treatment of a patient with laparoscopy surgery who applied to our clinic due to acute abdomen and was diagnosed with left ovarian torsion at 12 weeks' gestation.
