“…A third case describes an incarcerated mobile cecum resulting from an internal herniation through a loop created by an elongated left fallopian tube of 25 cm [5]. While the patient illustrated in this case presents similarly to our patient, our patient's right fallopian tube was 9.5 cm in length by 0.7 cm in diameter, which is closer to the average length of fallopian tubes seen in females in their 70s of 8.8 cm [7]. The distal portion of the right fallopian tube was found with atypical adhesions that connected it to the retroperitoneum.…”

Internal hernias result from abdominal viscera protruding through a congenital or acquired defect in the peritoneum or the mesentery of the abdominal cavity. They are less common than external hernias, and the overall incidence is rare. Internal hernias carry a high mortality rate if there is no immediate surgical intervention and can lead to complications such as bowel perforation, ischemia, and necrosis. There are multiple classifications, and a rare subtype identified in only a select few cases involves the fallopian tube. This case documents the development of a cecal volvulus due to the cecum herniating through an aperture created by a normal-appearing fallopian tube attaching to the retroperitoneum.A 78-year-old female with multiple comorbidities was admitted for abdominal pain lasting 3-4 days, nausea, emesis, and poor oral tolerance. Computerized tomography imaging revealed a complete large bowel obstruction secondary to a cecal volvulus, and she was taken emergently for an exploratory laparotomy. Intra-operatively, a distended cecum was noted, herniated through a loop created by the right fallopian tube tethering its free end to the left pelvis. Upon decompression of the bowel, the fallopian tube released itself from the retroperitoneum. The cecum and right fallopian tube were noted to be ischemic and resected with an ileo-transverse anastomosis. Internal hernias that involve the fallopian tubes are a rare variation of an already uncommon condition. However, they should be included in the differential diagnosis when evaluating a female patient for intestinal obstruction since it can develop into a life-threatening condition that requires prompt surgical attention.

“…The unusual length of the patient's left fallopian tube is perplexing. The average length of a fallopian tube in 60-year-old women is less than 10 cm [21] whereas the length left fallopian tube in this patient was 25 cm. The elongation of the fallopian tube runs counter to the progressive atrophy typically seen in fallopian tubes in postmenopausal women [22] , [23] .…”

We describe a case of a 61-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with a 2-week history of severe right and left lower abdominal quadrant abdominal pain that radiated to the back and was accompanied by nausea and vomiting. An initial computed tomography scan with contrast demonstrated unusual loops of small bowel in the left paracentral pelvis. Follow-up computed tomography scans revealed worsening dilation of the cecum. Exploratory laparotomy was indicated and revealed a mobile right mesenteric stalk, which had migrated to the left lower abdominal quadrant and become incarcerated within a loop formed by a 25 cm long left fallopian tube. The distal end of the fallopian tube was firmly adherent to the parietal peritoneum of the left lower quadrant. A right hemicolectomy and a left salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. This case appears to be the first to document the internal herniation of a mobile cecum and right mesenteric stalk through a highly unusual loop created by an elongated left fallopian tube.

“…Whereas in the present study we got the highest and lowest mean value in the post reproductive group and pre reproductive age group but both were on the left side (5.24, 3.00cm respectively). 2 Hwang TS found that uterine tube length did not show statistically significant differences in relation to age. But in our study there was significant correlation of age with the length of fallopian tube on both right and left side as P value was 0.000.…”

“…The fallopian tube act as a passage for the germ cells in two directions and zygote towards the uterus. 2 Fallopian tubes is very important for fertility and it is most commonly involved in cases of human infertility. Proper fallopian tube function is very significant to provide correct environment for the initial stages of embryo.…”

Introduction: The necessity of identification of an individual is paramount important from birth to death as flawed identity can lead to several medico-legal complications. Age and stature of an individual are significant criterion in personal identification. There are age associated variations of the fallopian tube like the length of the fallopian tube increases from pre-reproductive to reproductive age group then it progressively decreases in postmenopausal period. Aim: The aim of this study is to measure length of fallopian tubes and to correlate that with the age and stature of the individual. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study conducted on dead bodies of 46 females that were autopsied in the mortuary of Forensic Medicine department, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal. The length of both right and left side fallopian tube were measured using measuring tape. Stature was measured using graduated autopsy scale. The age of the deceased was noted down from the autopsy files. The result was analyzed using SPSS software. Results: The mean lengths of right & left fallopian tubes were 4.86 ± 1.91 cms and 5.06 ± 1.94 cms respectively. There was significant correlation of both age and stature with the lengths of fallopian tubes on either side. Conclusion: The result of this study will help the Forensic Pathologist to find the age as well as stature of individual from fallopian tube. Precise information of the normal length of the fallopian tube may aid the gynecologists to adopt suitable diagnosis and management of numerous disorders related with it.
