Abstract: | BACKGROUNDOvarian anomalies except for uni- or bilateral streak gonads are rare. We present a rare case of an ovarian anomaly in which both ovaries were connected by extra tissue.CASE SUMMARYA 32-year-old, primipara with a twin pregnancy at 36 weeks of gestation was admitted to the hospital with severe preeclampsia. She underwent emergency cesarean section owing to persistent headache, blurred vision, and general edema. Following a peritoneal incision, a thin rectangular-shaped tissue was seen in front of the uterus. After delivery, the extra tissue was removed; no other anomalies were reported in either the ovaries or uterus. Pathology results of the removed tissue disclosed a well-vascularized loose stromal tissue with few follicles and scattered luteinized cells. In this case, to prevent pelvic adhesion or intestinal obstruction resulting from volvulus, strangulation, and torsion, the extra tissue was removed.CONCLUSIONWe report a case of a rare ovarian anomaly where both ovaries were connected by extra tissue. If the extra tissue extends to the abdominal cavity, it should be removed to prevent pelvic adhesion or abdominal complications including intestinal volvulus, strangulation, and torsion. |
