Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube without an ovarian abnormality is an uncommon clinical finding even rarer before menarche and postmenopause, with an incidence of approximately 1 in 1.5 million women. Left fallopian tube torsion is infrequent as compared to right. Here, we report a rare case of a prepubertal girl who presented with acute left abdominal pain. Ultrasound suggested normal ovaries, and a significant left hydrosalpinx and color-Doppler was done, which confirmed signs of left-sided fallopian tube torsion. On laparoscopy, her left fallopian tube was twisted around its axis five times with the signs of necrosis, a laparoscopic salpingectomy was performed. Laparoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis and management of this condition. A high index of suspicion is necessary to make an early diagnosis allowing conservative surgical management and hence fertility preservation.
Caesarean scar ectopic is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy [3]. The diagnosis and treatment of it is challenging. It is important to
diagnose the condition as early as possible in order to administer appropriate, timely treatment and to avoid complications. A rare case of
laparoscopic management of an ectopic pregnancy in a previous Caesarean section scar is reported here. Laparoscopy enabled the successful
treatment of an unruptured ectopic pregnancy in a previous Caesarean scar and made it possible to preserve the patient’s reproductive capability.
In this report we present a case of 30 year old gravida 2, para 1, living 1 with cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy managed laparoscopically.
