Laparoscopic detorsion for bilateral ovarian torsion in a singleton pregnancy with spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

Abstract

A 26-year-old primigravida with a singleton pregnancy of 9 weeks gestation presented with severe lower abdominal pain, following spontaneous hyperstimulation of the ovaries in a natural conception. Emergency laparoscopy was done and bilateral ovarian torsion with retained vascularity was noted. Bilateral detorsion with ovarian puncture and ovariopexy was performed. A review of international literature suggests that this is the first case reported with bilateral ovarian torsion following spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in a singleton pregnancy.
