Introduction: Adnexal torsion is an uncommon case during pregnancy. Torsion usually occurs in ovaries with previously diagnosed cysts and tumors. It is rare for a previously normal ovary to undergo torsion in advanced gestation. Case presentation: Here, we report a case of adnexal torsion during the 9th week of pregnancy without any predisposing factors. The patient was admitted to emergency department with mild lower abdominal pain and nausea. With the worsening of clinical and ultrasonographic signs, a right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Conclusion: Adnexal torsion, though rare, should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of lower abdominal pain in advanced gestation.
