ResumoABSTRACT Adnexial torsion is defined as a partial or complete rotation of the adnexial vascular pedicle, causing circulatory ischemia and future necrosis. It is rare, hard to diagnosis and therefore of commonly delayed treatment. Clinical symptoms are nonspecific and similar to acute abdomen what may lead to a delay in its identification, generally performed by ultrasound examination. Treatment is surgical and may include adnexial extraction. Such uncommon diagnosis should always be remembered in adolescents patients whose abdominal pain does not resolve after conventional clinical treatment. In this study we report a demonstrative case of this important pathology.
