Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) is a rare cause of surgical emergency and is difficult to diagnose. We present a case of IFTT in a 14-year-old girl who presented with an acute abdomen. Based on the clinical and computed tomographic findings, an initial diagnosis of ovarian torsion was considered. However, an emergency laparoscopic surgery revealed a left necrotic hemorrhagic tubal torsion. Subsequently, a left salpingectomy was performed with the preservation of both ovaries. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of IFTT with hydrosalpinx. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with IFTT and emphasizes the important role of early surgical intervention in preventing morbidity and preserving ovaries. A brief review of the literature on IFTT in terms of its diagnostic and therapeutic approaches is discussed.
孤立性输卵管扭转(IFTT)是一种罕见的外科急症病因,诊断困难。我们报告一例14岁急性腹痛女孩的IFTT病例。根据临床和计算机断层扫描结果,初步考虑为卵巢扭转。然而,急诊腹腔镜手术显示为左侧坏死出血性输卵管扭转。随后,实施了左侧输卵管切除术,保留了双侧卵巢。组织学检查确诊为伴有输卵管积水的IFTT。该病例突出了与IFTT相关的诊断挑战,并强调了早期手术干预在预防发病和保留卵巢方面的重要作用。本文还简要回顾了关于IFTT诊断和治疗方法的文献。
