| Popis: | Background: Acute abdomen in pregnancy is a unique clinical challenge. We report a rare case of hydrosalpinx presenting as acute abdomen in the third trimester of pregnancy in the absence of infection and hormonal treatment. Case: A 38-year-old Caucasian woman (gravida 4, para 3), at an estimated 29 weeks of a spontaneous singleton pregnancy, presented to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant, which had been present for three days. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a right-sided hydrosalpinx. It was successfully treated with conservative treatment and the patient delivered vaginally at term without complication. Conclusion: Hydrosalpinx should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses for acute abdomen during pregnancy. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended, with a careful work-up, due to the risks to both fetus and mother. Keywords: Hydrosalpinx, Acute abdomen, Pregnancy, Magnetic resonance imaging |
