ADNEXAL TORSION IN 7-8 WEEKS PREGNANCY

Abstract

Aim. Evaluation of clinico-laboratorial and sonographic signs of adnexal torsion.Materials and methods. Follow-up of the patient in the Perinatal Center of the Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2; ultrasound performed on Medison and Voluson E6; laparoscopy performed with the use of endoscopic devices KARL STORZ.Results. Left adnexal torsion was seen on ultrasound while the patient with a gestation period of 7-8 weeks was in the hospital. The main sonographic criteria for dynamic examination were: ovarian displacement and enlargement, changes in its echostructure, paraovarian cyst adherent to it, lack of blood flow in the ovary, and increasing hydroperitoneum. The 192 diagnosis was verified with laparoscopy and histological examination. Laparoscopic adnexectomy was performed. The postoperative period was unremarkable. Pregnancy progresses without complications. Conclusion. In the absence of convincing clinico-laboratorial, instrumental data indicative of adnexal torsion and an absolute indication for laparoscopy, ultrasound is necessary in dynamics. The above signs make possible to diagnose the adnexal torsion. Laparoscopy carried out in early pregnancy does not cause any complications in carrying of a pregnancy now.
