ABSTRACT
Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is very uncommon during pregnancy. It usually confuses with acute appendicitis and torsion of the ovary. The diagnosis is usually established during operation, and a salpingectomy is almost always necessary. However, the early diagnosis and surgical treatment of the disease are mandatory to preserve oviduct. Because of safety and feasibility, laparoscopic surgery has recently become major treatment method.
