ABSTRACT
Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is an uncommon event. Its incidence is estimated at 1 per 1 500 000 among women in genital activity. We report a case of isolated torsion of fallopian tube caused by a paraovarian cyst in a 24 years old patient presenting an acute pelvic pain, nausea and vomiting. The clinical examination revealed a mass of 7cm. Pelvic ultrasound showed an adnexal mass. The laparoscopy performed revealed a severe torsion of the left fallopian tube caused by a paraovarian cyst. Based on this experience as well as on other similar reported cases, characteristics of isolated torsion of the Fallopian tubes are discussed. This pathology should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute pelvic pain in the female patient. Prompt surgical intervention may allow preservation of the tube
