title: Massive ovarian edema in a twin pregnancy.
abstract: A case of idiopathic ovarian edema in a 26-year-old woman with a twin pregnancy is reported. The clinical evolution of the condition was benign in spite of acute episodes of left iliac pain. In diagnosis, theca-lutein cysts had to be differentiated from other ovarian enlargements. The authors advise conservative surgery for such a condition.
