Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
The adnexal torsion is relatively common, accounting for 2.7% of all gynecological emergencies; isolated torsion of fallopian tube alone, is an infrequent, yet significant cause of lower abdominal pain in women, which generally presents in reproductive age group. Overall incidence of isolated tube torsion is 1 in 1.5 million women. It is generally unilateral, more on the right side. It should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in young women. Early diagnosis and treatment is required for the salvage of the twisted tube or part of it.2 We, report a case of isolated tubal torsion containing ectopic pregnancy.
