Bowel Herniation Through Broad Ligament Mimicking Ovarian Torsion: A Novel Presentation

Abstract

Ovarian torsion is an important differential diagnosis in female patients with severe, lower abdominal pain. We report a patient in whom torsion was considered. However, laparoscopy demonstrated an obstructed bowel loop adjacent to adnexa. Patient had bilateral defects in broad ligament, causing migration and incarceration of bowel on left side.
