Healthy adnexal torsion during pregnancy is a rare occurrence. We present the case of a 38-year-old patient who consulted for acute latero-pelvic pain during a 7-month pregnancy and who underwent an exploratory laparotomy which returned in favor of torsion on a healthy necrotic ovary. We performed a detorsion of the appendix with adnexectomy. The post-operative consequences were unremarkable. Torsion of the adnexa is an emergency that should not be ignored in the face of any acute pelvic pain in pregnant women. Conservative treatment is currently the gold standard and appropriate management is necessary to avoid possible maternal and fetal complications.
