Isolated Fallopian Tube Torsion: a Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

Isolated fallopian tube torsion is rare and often difficult to diagnose. Definitive diagnosis is always made at laparoscopic or via laparotomy exploration performed for suspected ovarian torsion. Early diagnosis and conservative laparoscopic treatment especially in a reproductive age woman is warranted as a means of preserving fallopian tube integrity and maintaining fertility. Here, we describe a case with isolated right fallopian torsion being managed by conservative laparoscopic surgery.
