Introduction:
Fallopian tube torsion is a rare gynecology problem which causes significant acute abdominal pain in female. Its prevalence was reported to be 1 in 1.5 million women. Patients may present with nausea and vomiting, associated with acute abdominal pain and peritonitis.
Case Report: We report a rare case of Fallopian tube torsion which is the first case in our center. A 16-year-old girl presented acute abdominal pain which mimic symptoms of acute appendicitis. She was initially treated by surgical team. Upon laparoscopy, she was found to have right fallopian tube torsion but no gangrenous. She was then referred to gynecology team. The affected tube was untwisted and salvaged by gynecologist. She was recovered well postoperatively. Conclusion: When a lady presented with acute abdominal pain, the differential diagnosis should include the rare fallopian tube torsion. | |
