ABSTRACT
Ovarian endometriotic cyst is one of the most frequent localizations of endometriosis that can affect female fertility. We describe the case of a triple torsion of a giant remodeled endometriotic cyst of the right ovary measuring 15cm /12cm diagnosed in time in the emergency room of our maternity hospital by careful clinical examination, pelvic ultrasound and abdominopelvic computed tomography. An emergency surgical detorsion of the right ovary by exploratory laparotomy was carried out in the first instance, allowing immediate restoration of its vascularisation and consequently prevention of possible ischaemia. A cystectomy was carefully carried out in the second instance after detorsion, allowing preservation of the patient's fertile future.
