Vólvulo del sigmoide secundario a torsión ovárica: reporte de caso

Sigmoid volvulus is one of the main causes of intestinal obstruction in the world, leading to consequences that derive from the decrease in mesenteric blood supply that can condition partial intestinal resection, leading to important changes in the quality of life of patients. Ovarian torsion is a gynecological emergency that becomes important in the short, medium and long term due to the crucial role of ovarian function in hormonal regulation and fertility. Both entities can generate an acute surgical abdomen, however few cases have been described in the literature on the simultaneous presence of these pathologies. We present a case of sigmoid volvulus secondary to adnexal cyst with torsion, with successful surgical management with partial salpingo-oophorectomy + sigmoidectomy + terminal colostomy in a 33 year-old woman with no important medical history, in the Regional Hospital of Duitama (Boyacá, Colombia).
