Abstract :
Background: Isolated tubal torsion is a rare condition that its management remains a
challenge.
Case Presentation: In this case report, an isolated torsion of the right fallopian tube
was described in a virgin girl who was treated laparoscopically. The patient presented
to the University Hospital of Larisa, in Greece (January 2017) after 5 days of
sharp pain in right iliac fossa. Through this period, she looked for medical care in her
home country, in Albania. However, further treatment was not available there.
Conclusion: This case manifested that laparoscopy plays an important role in the accurate
diagnosis of isolated torsion of the fallopian tube. It thwarts unnecessary delay
in treatment and it requires an endoscopy unit. Unfortunately, endoscopy is not commonly
the main diagnostic procedure in many countries, including Greece.
