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.
