    A 38 year old lady with a previous history of an ovarian cyst, presented with a one week history of fever, diarrhoea and intense localized pain in the left iliac fossa. Laparotomy revealed a left tuboovarian abscess with adherent bowels. Pus from the ruptured cyst grew Salmonella enteritidis. Histologically the cyst wall showed haemorrhagic and degenerate endometriotic features. Recovery was uneventful with cefotaxime and metronidazole.

    Ovarian torsion is commonly seen in young girls. Unfortunately it is often misdiagnosed because of its non-specific symptoms and lack of diagnostic modalities. This article focuses on the diagnostic challenge and also the changes in the management of ovarian torsion.

    An acute abdomen in pregnancy can be caused by pregnancy itself, be predisposed to by pregnancy or be the result of a purely incidental cause. These various conditions are discussed. The obstetrician often has a difficult task in diagnosing and managing the acute abdomen in pregnancy. The clinical evaluation is generally confounded by the various anatomical and physiological changes occurring in pregnancy itself. Clinical examination is further hampered by the gravid uterus. The general reluctance to use conventional X-rays because of the pregnancy should be set aside when faced with the seriously ill mother. A reluctance to operate during pregnancy adds unnecessary delay, which increases morbidity for both mother and fetus. Such mistakes should be avoided as prompt diagnosis and appropriate therapy are crucial. A general approach to acute abdominal conditions in pregnancy is to manage these problems regardless of the pregnancy.
