Abstract

Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is a rare disease of unknown etiology. Pathological conditions often pre-dispose to torsion. The correct diagnosis is usually not established until the operation and it is almost always necessary to remove the tube. Awareness of this condition and early laparoscopy in case of unexplained acute low abdominal pain may result in early diagnosis and possible preservation of the affected tube.
