title: [Torsion of the uterine tubes].
abstract: Gynecologic pathology in premenarchal girls is infrequent, although torsion of adnexa is a pathology well recognized. Very little has been written on torsion of previously healthy adnexa. Since the diagnosis can be difficult and confussing due to its resemblance with many other pathologic conditions, it is purpose of this paper to report a case the treated in our hospital. The importance of an early diagnosis is stressed in order to avoid loss of the adnexa and a brief review of the literature is made. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in Mexico.
