Isolated fallopian tube torsion during pregnancy: a case report

Abstract

Isolated fallopian tube torsion is a rare pregnancy-related complication. It is frequently misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis or ovarian torsion owing to the lack of specific symptoms or signs. Here, the authors report a case of a 35-year-old primigravida at 30 weeks and six days of gestation who had presented with right isolated fallopian tube torsion and a history of right oophorectomy. The authors propose that isolated fallopian tube torsion should be included in the list of differential diagnosis when encountered with patients complaining of lower abdominal pain.
