摘要
Adnexal torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain during pregnancy. It is frequently associated with ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) or with ovarian masses, mainly of functional origin. The clinical, laboratory and imaging findings are non-specific. The authors present four cases with adnexal torsion diagnosed during the first trimester of pregnancy. The clinical picture, the mode of diagnosis, and the therapeutic approach are discussed. In two cases, the adnexa was removed, because there was extensive hemorrhage and ischemia. In the other two cases, unwinding of the adnexa was carried out and the ovary was preserved. The diagnosis of adnexal torsion is difficult, especially during pregnancy, and occasionally remains a diagnostic dilemma. It necessitates a prompt surgical intervention, because any delay leads to irreversible ovarian necrosis, so that adnexectomy is ultimately required.
