Abstract

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs commonly found in women of reproductive age and can present as acute abdominal pain, making them a significant gynecological emergency. These cysts are observed in approximately 5 out of every 10,000 pregnancies and are often detected early due to routine antenatal ultrasounds performed at various stages of gestation. It is important to note that these cysts can recur later in the pregnancy. In this report, we discuss a case of ovarian torsion occurring during pregnancy, emphasizing the importance of considering conservative surgical options. Our findings suggest that efforts should always be made to salvage the affected ovaries whenever possible to preserve ovarian function and overall reproductive health.
