ABSTRACT
To report a case of bilateral ovarian torsion after a molar
pregnancy. Clinical case: An 18 year old female was admitted
for a 7 week molar pregnancy. A week after uterine evacuation
the patient was readmitted to the emergency room with
acute abdomen. Exploratory laparotomy revealed torsion and
necrosis of both ovaries. A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
was performed. The anatomopathology study confirms both
ovaries with hyperrectio luteinalis and hemorrhagic infarct.
Acute abdomen secondary to torsion and necrosis of thecalutein
cysts can be a molar pregnancy-related complication.
