چکیده

Adnexal torsion is rare but an urgent surgical condition that usually occurs in women of reproductive age. The recommended treatment is immediate laparotomy.

Laparoscopy was used to establish the diagnosis and for the definitive treatment and pregnancy continued without any further problems. We consider that laparoscopic treatment of this condition is desirable in the management of girls and young women in whom the preservation of fertility is important.
