  • Title: [Adnexal torsion during pregnancy. Diagnostic and therapeutic problems in Burkina Faso].
    Author: Toure B, Dao B, Sano D, Akotionga M, Lankoande J, Kone B.
    Journal: Rev Med Brux; 1997 Dec; 18(6):379-80. PubMed ID: 9481157.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of adnexal torsion during early pregnancy. Because of a late diagnosis they had to practise an unilateral adnexectomy with a conservative medical treatment of the pregnancy. They recommend an early surgical treatment, that will save the adnexa and permit a normal evolution of the pregnancy. In a young patient, the loss of an ovary may be a tragic event.
