摘要
Duplication of the alimentary tract is an uncommon congenital anomaly that is
usually identified during the pediatric period. However, a few cases remain unsuspected
until adulthood. We herein present a 34-year-old female who developed severe
lower abdominal pain after three years of occasional mild abdominal pain. She visited
a gynecologist. After transvaginal ultrasonography, ovarian torsion was suspected
and she underwent emergent surgical exploration, which revealed a huge cystic duplication
of transverse colon with torsion expanding into the pelvic cavity. Wedge
resection of the involved segment was performed.
