“…If torsion is arrested before the onset of gangrenous changes, the tubes can be preserved in torsion cases. A study by Mazouni et al emphasized that more than 10 hours between the onset of pain and surgery increases the risk of tubal necrosis [ 9 , 11 ]. The diagnosis of isolated tubal torsion by ultrasound is quite challenging.…”

Isolated tubal torsion of the hydrosalpinx is a rare occurrence with a varied clinical presentation, presenting a diagnostic challenge. We present a case involving the isolated torsion of the right hydrosalpinx in a 33-year patient with a history of bilateral tubal ligation who presented with an acute abdomen. Based on ultrasound and clinical findings, an initial diagnosis of ovarian torsion was considered. However, escalating pain severity led to diagnostic laparotomy, revealing torsion in the right hydrosalpinx. Subsequent right salpingectomy was done, and as the patient had undergone tubal ligation, preventive left salpingectomy was also performed. Both ovaries were preserved. The patient experienced an uneventful recovery. A literature review uncovered fewer than 50 reported cases of unilateral or bilateral isolated fallopian tube torsion post-tubal ligation. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges associated with isolated tubal torsion and emphasizes the crucial role of early surgical intervention in preventing morbidity and preserving ovaries.

Paratubal cyst torsion accompanied by secondary isolated fallopian tube torsion without involvement of the ipsilateral ovary is rare. A similar case occurring in the postpartum period has not been reported to date in the English literature. Our case report concerns a pregnant multiparous woman in the 40th gestational week, without regular antenatal care attendance, who was urgently admitted to the maternity ward with pushing labour pains and gave birth with vaginal delivery. A few hours later, puerperant complained of worsening severe lower abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea, dizziness and vomiting, unresponsive to analgesic medication. Based on the clinical and ultrasound findings, the diagnosis of an ovarian cyst torsion was established, and it was decided to treat the patient with surgery and in particular with laparotomy. Intraoperatively, in the left parametrium, the presence of an ovoid mass with a brownish-red hue and a smooth outer surface was detected, along which the ipsilateral fallopian tube ran, without the involvement of the ovary. Histological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of isolated fallopian tubal torsion with paratubal cyst. The postoperative course was uneventful. In this paper, based on modern data, a brief literature review of this rare nosological entity is attempted, regarding the diagnostic and therapeutic approach, the immediate application of which can ensure the best prognosis.
