RESUMEN
Se describe el caso clínico de una paciente desnutrida de la República de Djibouti, de 24 años de edad y procedencia rural, atendida en el Servicio de Urgencia de Cirugía por presentar dolor en hipogastrio, fijo, mantenido y punzante, que se intensificaba progresivamente, además de náuseas y vómitos biliosos. En la exploración bimanual se palpó una masa anexial en el lado derecho, muy dolorosa, de casi 8 cm. Los exámenes realizados confirmaron la presencia de un quiste de ovario torcido y posible tuberculosis peritoneal, lo cual se comprobó con el diagnóstico peroperatorio. La joven evolucionó satisfactoriamente y fue trasladada al Servicio de Medicina para tratamiento antibacilar.
ABSTRACT
The clinical case of a undernourished 24-year-old patient of the Republic of Djibouti who lived in a rural region is described. She was attended in the Emergency Department of Surgery due to a fixed, continuous and stabbing hypogastric pain, which was intensified progressively besides nauseas and bilious vomiting. A very painful adnexal mass of almost 8 cm was palpated in the right side with a bimanual exploration. Examinations confirmed the presence of a bent ovaric cyst and a possible peritoneal tuberculosis, which was proven with intraoperative diagnosis. She made a good progress and was transferred to the Medicine Service for antibacillary treatment.
