[Acute abdomen as a complication of a molar pregnancy].

UNLABELLED: 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.
