Ovarian torsion cyst: about two new cases
Keywords:
DeCS, quiste de ovario torcido, torsión de ovario, torsión anexial, diagnóstico y tratamiento.Abstract
Background: the concepts of cystic torsion of the ovary, ovary and adnexa are presented. Those are coincident because they provoke hematological tissue deficit, constituting a medical surgery urgency. It appears at any age, preferably premenopausal and in the period of fertile years. It is very infrequent in normal extensions. Also, some risk factors are presented. The clinic diagnosis is very important. Among the diagnosis means are included the conventional ultrasound, the Doppler color, and the usual laparoscopy or video assisted laparoscopy. The treatment is aimed at saving the affected organ; to remove the torsion is valid and can be made.
Objective: to present two cases of torsion ovary cyst and update about the matter.
Case report: two sick women are treated in a basic workgroup and in a same month, February 2017, both in post-menopausal period. The diagnoses and treatment were delayed and this caused a surgery with good posterior evolution.
Conclusions: both cases had diagnostic delay, and the treatment wasn’t timely, the post operatory evolution was good though. It is emphasized that when a woman with pelvic pain mass is presented, this possibility should be discarded quickly.
