RESUMO

Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is an uncommon and ill-understood condition which presents as an acute abdominal emergency. It has not been previously reported from this region. The diagnostic difficulties, pathophysiology and management are discussed. It is suggested that better awareness of the condition may result in earlier diagnosis and treatment, with possible salvage of the affected tube (AU)
