Abstract
Isolated fallopian tube torsion is an uncommon cause of acute abdomen in pregnancy. Patients present with lower quadrant abdominal pain, and some have nausea and vomiting. There is no pathognomic diagnostic sign, so most patients are operated when it is too late to save the tube by detorsion alone. Here we present a case of isolated tubal torsion in a term pregnancy managed by salpingectomy and cesarean section simultaneously. As far as we know this will be the 20th case of reported isolated tubal torsion in pregnancy.
