Isolated Fallopian Tube Torsion: Detorsion and Tubal Preservation
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction: There has been a scarcity of cases of isolated fallopian tubes torsion in the literature. Case Description: Isolated fallopian tube torsion in a 27-year-old woman was associated with a hydrosalpinx. Laparoscopic detorsion of the right fallopian tube was performed within 24 hours of the onset of clinical symptoms. Surgical management was based on evaluation of tubal status and visual restoration of local perfusion as evidenced by the pink color of the untwisted tube and tested patency. Discussion: Conservative surgical management to maximize fertility preservation should be the goal of treatment of women of reproductive age. Successful salvaging of tubal integrity rests on a low threshold for surgical management, the time from onset of symptoms to detorsion, the degree of tissue damage due to ischemia, and predisposing factors for tubal torsion.

Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) is a rare entity in adolescent girls. Invasive surgery, salpingectomy, was used during the initial surgery or at the time of recurrent torsion in 87% of previously reported cases. Herein, the authors present an adolescent premenarcheal girl with idiopathic IFTT, which was treated by laparoscopic detorsion, to emphasize that tubal torsion should be included...

Isolated tubal torsion -a rare cause of acute abdomen in children-is usually difficult to diagnose because of non-specific findings. Surgical salphingectomy is required in delayed diagnosis in most cases. Three sexual inactive adolescents diagnosed in isolated tubal torsion (ITT) were discussed for its diagnostic features and surgical management. Laboratory tests and radiological studies includ...

Torsion of the fallopian tube is less frequent. Indeed, isolated bilateral fallopian tube torsion is rare and often diffi cult to diagnose. The etiology of fallopian tube torsion is still uncertain, especially when this is not associated with torsion of the ovary. We present a case of the torsion of isolated bilateral fallopian tube combined with tubal endometriosis. A 30-year-old woman present...
