Laparoscopic management of adnexal torsion in a twin, in vitro fertilization pregnancy at 23 weeks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Maternal adnexal torsion in pregnancy, with a reported incidence of 1-10 per 10,000 spontaneous pregnancies, is very uncommon. Since it has been described as a severe complication after controlled ovarian hyper-stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF), it is more common in IVF pregnancies. This condition mainly occurs in the first trimester; it is rare during the late second trimester. Conservative management of adnexal torsion by laparoscopy is extended for the management of such conditions during pregnancy. An enlarged uterus could cause operational difficulties in the second trimester. In this paper, we report a case of adnexal torsion in a twin, 23 weeks with IVF pregnancy, that was successfully untwisted by laparoscopy.

Unilateral twin tubal pregnancy and subsequent heterotopic pregnancy in a patient following in vitro fertilization.
Unilateral twin tubal gestations are extremely rare with a reported incidence of 1 per 200 ectopic pregnancies. In recent years, the incidence of heterotopic pregnancy associated with in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) has risen to 1%-3% of achieved pregnancies. We report a very rare case of a 32-year-old woman with 6-year primary infertility with unilateral twin tubal pregnanc...
