摘要

Background

Isolated fallopian tube torsion is a rare but critical gynecologic emergency that often presents a diagnostic challenge owing to its nonspecific symptoms and infrequent occurrence.

Case presentation

This paper discusses the case of a 37-year-old Saudi female who was hospitalized with acute right lower quadrant pain, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The initial differential diagnosis included ovarian torsion and appendicitis. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a right fallopian tube twisted five times, which was later confirmed to be necrotic. Given the irreversible damage to the fallopian tube, a right salpingectomy was performed. The patient recovered well postoperatively and was discharged after 48 h without complications.

Conclusion

This case report underscores the importance of considering isolated fallopian tube torsion in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain and highlights the need for prompt surgical intervention to prevent severe complications. The rarity of isolated tubal torsion, normal Doppler findings despite significant torsion, and the surgical management decisions impacting fertility make this case an informative addition to current literature.
