TORSION OF INNER TUBE

Isolated Fallopian Tube Torsion

Isolated torsion of the Fallopian tube is a rare gynecological cause of acute lower abdominal pain, and diagnosis is difficult. There are no pathognomonic symptoms; clinical, imaging, or laboratory findings. A preoperative ultrasound showing tubular adnexal masses of heterogeneous echogenicity with cystic component is often present. Diagnosis can rarely be made before operation, and laparoscopy...

Isolated torsion of the Fallopian tube.

Objective. The purpose of this series is to describe the sonographic features of isolated torsion of the fallopian tube. Methods. Sonography was performed in 4 women with acute lower abdominal pain. Results. The uterus and ovaries were normal in the 4 women. The ipsilateral fallopian tube was distended with fluid. A round mass was seen close to the tube. A sonographic whirlpool sign was seen on...

Torsion of fallopian tube, fimbrial cyst.

A case of fallopian tube fimbrial cyst torsion with haemorrhage is presented, occurring in a 37-year-old female who had tubal ligation 6 years back. She presented in emergency with acute abdomen. Initial assessment of ovarian cyst haemorrhage or torsion was made. Ultrasound showed cystic structures in left adnexa and complex cyst in right adnexa with suspicion of torsion. Laparoscopy was perfor...

Asymptomatic torsion of a normal fallopian tube.

[Adnexal torsion caused by Fallopian tube cancer].

Fallopian tube cancer is the less frequent gynecological cancer. It occurs typically between 40 and 65 years old. Diagnosis is usually achieved earlier than in ovarian cancer cases, due to early symptoms (typically abdominal pain, hydro-hematorrhea and adnexal mass). Preoperative correct diagnosis is infrequent, being most cases diagnosed during the surgery or in the pathological study. Histolo...
