title: A Rare Case of Isolated torsion of Haematosalphinx Presenting as Acute Abdomen During Pregnancy creator: Shakuntala, PN creator: Rao, SR creator: Poornima, M creator: Padmalatha, VV subject: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences description: Isolated fallopian tubal torsion is a rare non obstetric cause for pain abdomen during pregnancy.We report a case of a 34 year old second gravida who presented with history of amennorrhoe of 7 months, colicky pain in the left iliac fossa , with 2 episodes of vomiting. A Trans vaginal scan revealed a left ovarian cyst. An emergency laparotomy was performed for suspected torsion or haemorrhage into an ovarian cyst. Surprisingly ovaries were normal and a congested and necrotic left tubal torsion with a tubal collection (haematosalphinx) was identified and a salpingectomy was then performed. The differential diagnosis is discussed and the literature is reviewed as it is a very rare clinical entity. publisher: Kakkilaya BS contributor: Kakkilaya, Dr Srinivas date: 2012-07-25 type: Journal (On-line/Unpaginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/8901/1/2012-2-13.pdf identifier: Shakuntala, PN and Rao, SR and Poornima, M and Padmalatha, VV (2012) A Rare Case of Isolated torsion of Haematosalphinx Presenting as Acute Abdomen During Pregnancy.
