Case Of Fallopian Tube Torsion Research Articles

A case of fallopian tube torsion in a young girl who underwent forced laparoscopic salpingectomy.

[Introduction] Fallopian tube torsion is a rare disease. We report a case of fallopian tube torsion in a young girl.

Fallopian Tube Torsion as a Cause of Acute Pelvic Pain in Adolescent Females.

Purpose. Torsion of the fallopian tube, involving hydatids of Morgagni, though a rare cause of acute pelvic pain in young girls, can pose significant risks to future fertility. Tubal torsion may present as a diagnostic dilemma since the ovary itself usually appears normal on ultrasound. Thus, surgical intervention may be delayed which can lead to worsening necrosis and result in the need for resection of the affected tube. Methods. We reviewed two cases of fallopian tube torsion associated with hydatids of Morgagni in adolescent females. Results. The patients were premenarchal in both cases, aged 10 and 13 years. Both presented with acute clinical signs of ovarian torsion but ultrasound showed the ovary itself to be normal with an adjacent cystic structure. In both cases, the fallopian tube was detorsioned laparoscopically and preserved. The associated cyst was excised in one case and marsupialized in the other. Conclusions. We propose that prompt recognition and operative management of this relatively uncommon source of pelvic pain may prevent unnecessary tubal resection and improve long-term fertility in this population.

Laparoscopic management of a fallopian tubal torsion complicated by a large hydrosalpinx

Clinical presentation of an adnexal mass is often non-specific and may mimic a range of gynecological pathology, as well as renal or gastrointestinal causes of lower abdominal pain. While a common entity, its association with a fallopian tube pathology is very uncommon. Imaging such as ultrasound has been diagnostic in the evaluation of a pelvic mass, and has been reported as assisting the diagnosis of fallopian tubal torsion. A pelvic mass of cystic nature can be removed by cystectomy, while treatment options for a torted fallopian tube include surgical detorsion if detected early, or a salpingectomy should there be evidence of necrosis. We report a rare case of fallopian tube torsion complicated by a large hydrosalpinx which was managed by laparoscopic surgery.

Laparoscopic Management of Fallopian Tube Torsion at 35 Weeks of Gestation: Case Report

Isolated fallopian tube torsion requiring surgical intervention in pregnancy is rare. Herein is reported a case of fallopian tube torsion that was managed laparoscopically at 35 weeks of gestation.

Torsion tubaire isolée chez une adolescente de 15 ans

Isolated Fallopian tube torsion in teenagers is extremely rare and diagnosis is difficult. Coelioscopy is necessary, but surgery often occurs too late for tube conservation. A case of Fallopian tube torsion bringing about a cyst is presented. Diagnostic difficulties, echography, treatment and cause are discussed. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention is mandatory when isolated Fallopian tube torsion is suspected.
