Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is a rare cause of lower abdominal pain and commonly occurs after menarche. Prompt identification of this entity can prevent irreversible vascular damage, but the diagnosis is rarely made before surgery due to nonspecific clinical and imaging features. We report a case of isolated tubal torsion with specific imaging features on preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
