“…This sign is not always detectable, especially when a mass is present. 14,15 A retrospective analysis of 27 cases of IFTT noted that whirlpool sign was noted in only six cases; however, in only 10 of the cases, there was dedicated evaluation for this sign. 1 This study recommended that the sonographic whirlpool sign should be looked for in cases of abnormal adnexal findings and a normal-appearing ipsilateral ovary when lower abdominal pain was a presenting symptom.…”

Isolated fallopian tube torsion without involvement of the ovary is a rare condition most frequently presenting during reproductive years. The majority of the diagnoses are made on the operating table. We describe a case of isolated tubal torsion, unique in that localized necrosis and inflammation from the torsion. Its common symptoms are lower abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea. Because these symptoms are nonspecific, isolated torsion of a fallopian tube may be misdiagnosed, delaying treatment and the opportunity to preserve the tube. The ultrasound-assisted examination was useful, but the specific diagnosis was made after laparotomy and histopathology. Laparotomy and laparoscopy are important tools in the diagnosis and prognosis of isolated torsion of a fallopian tube, and can help to preserve the fertility of these patients.
