Unexplained Unilateral Absence of Fallopian Tube and Ovary: A Rare Occurrence

Abstract

Objective To present a case of right-sided unilateral tubal and ovarian absence, along with laparoscopic images. Patient A 23-year-old patient presented with primary infertility of 4 years’ duration. Right adnexal structures were not visualized on transvaginal ultrasound and laparoscopy. Intervention Diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Main outcome measure Complete absence of the right fallopian tube together with ovary was detected during laparoscopy. Subsequent urinary tract evaluation with intravenous pyelography was planned. Result Ipsilateral absence of the fallopian tube and ovary without any other system anomalies were detected. Conclusion Torsion or congenital defect might be the possible etiologic factors. However, vascular accident stands in the forefront of suggested etiologies. Laparoscopy is a feasible option as a diagnostic tool for these kinds of cases.
