title: Adnexal torsion during pregnancy -- management and literature overview.
abstract: We present a patient in the 30th week of gestation with adnexal torsion, which was treated by laparotomy with oophorectomy. After 2 days, we had to perform a cesarean section because of bowel obstruction. We discuss the diagnosis and treatment of adnexal torsion in pregnancy and compare laparoscopic management with laparotomy. By reviewing the literature, we evaluate the conservative therapy by detorsion employing Doppler sonography.
