Abstract

Maternal ovarian torsion in pregnancy is very rare. Non-specific symptoms, signs, and imaging findings make the diagnosis difficult. A delay in diagnosis can lead to irreversible damage to adnexa and fetal compromise. Difficulties encountered in the diagnosis and management of adnexal torsion in the third trimester of pregnancy are highlighted in this article.
