Abstract

Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) in the absence of ovarian abnormalities represents an uncommon gynecological etiology for acute pelvic pain, with an estimated incidence of around 1 in 1,500,000, as documented since the initial reported case by Bland-Sutton in 1890.A 41-year-old woman presented at the emergency department reporting symptoms indicative of intestinal obstruction, including nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, and persistent abdominal discomfort over the preceding four-day period. Subsequent diagnosis revealed that she was experiencing isolated fallopian tube torsion.Healthcare providers should contemplate the possibility of isolated fallopian tube torsion when assessing women with sudden onset of abdominal pain, particularly those with a prior history of tubal ligation. The consideration of isolated fallopian tube torsion is also warranted in instances where acute abdominal pain accompanies an adnexal mass.
