--- abstract: '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.' altloc: - http://www.ojhas.org/issue42/2012-2-13.htm chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - shakuntala_pn@yahoo.com - ~ - ~ - ~ creators_name: - family: Shakuntala given: PN honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Rao given: SR honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Poornima given: M honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Padmalatha given: VV honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2012-07-25 date_type: published datestamp: 2013-05-04 23:06:26 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/89/01 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: - Kakkilaya BS editors_name: - family: Kakkilaya given: Srinivas honourific: Dr lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 8901 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/8901/1/2012-2-13.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: Fallopian tube torsion; Acute abdomen; Pregnancy; Salpingectomy lastmod: 2013-05-04 23:06:26 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 2(13) pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences publisher: Kakkilaya BS refereed: TRUE referencetext: "1.\tHansen OH.
