“…White blood cell, sedimentation rate and CRP are usually within the normal range or mildly elevated and fever is rare in most reported cases Markhardt et al 2008;Dedecker et al 2003;Ho et al 2008). The differential diagnosis should include acute appendicitis, torsion or rupture of an ovarian cyst or follicle, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, degeneration of leiomyoma, intestinal obstruction or perforation, urolithiasis and renal colic (Yalcin et al 1997).…”

Isolated torsion of a fallopian tube in the third trimester of pregnancy is an uncommon event. Expedient diagnosis warrant a prompt management in view of better postoperative well-being for both mother and the fetus. Therefore, it can be challenging because the symptoms are relatively non specific. The ultrasound findings may be suggestive but the diagnosis is only made after the surgical exploration and histopathology.We present a case of isolated tubal torsion in a primigravida occurring in the third trimester managed by laparotomic salpingectomy.

“…Other etiologies have been proposed including: anatomic abnormalities [tubal abnormalities, long mesosalpinx, hydrosalpinx, hematosalpinx], physiological abnormalities (hypermotility of the tube or abnormal peristalsis, tubal spasm from drugs), hemodynamic abnormalities (venous congestion in the mesosalpinx), Sellheim theory (sudden body position changes), trauma or disease (pelvic inflammatory disease, tubal ligation) and gravid uterus [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Most of the cases have presented in the third trimester. The diagnosis of this torsion is very difficult. There are not pathognomonic symptoms; clinical, imaging, or laboratory findings. The diagnosis is proved during the operation.Case presentation: A 29 years old G4P3L2D1RIII, 33weeks pregnant woman presented with acute colicky abdominal pain with 4 episodes of vomiting &nausea. The sonogram revealed a 2 cm exophytic mass of left ovary probably is haemorrhagic cyst.A laparotomy was performed. The ovaries were normal and there was the isolated torsion in left tube with congestion and necrose. Cesarean section and salpingectomy was performed. Conclusion:Although isolated twisted fallopian tube during pregnancy is very rare, we should Pay attention in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in pregnancy for this case. Early surgical intervention will decrease obstetric morbidity and may help us to preserve the fallopian tube. normal right ovary. A 2 cm exophytic mass of left ovary probably haemorrhagic cyst. Obstetric sonography and fetal evaluation were normal. Total lab tests were normal. The report of surgery consult was expectant management. At the first day in the hospital, she was NPO. Second day she was not vomiting. Nausea and abdominal tenderness was much reduced. The patient had appetite and had liquids.The vital signs of patient were normal. With the surgical consultation, the patient was treated for diverticulitis. On the third day of hospitalization, the laparatomy was done in spite of mild contractions. The cesarean was completed. Adnexa on the right was completely normal. Similarly the left ovary was normal. While the left fallopian tube was found at the site of injection Ampula to Fimbriae torsion. According to fourth cesarean of the patient, salpingectomy was performed (Figures 1-4).
