Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is an uncommon event. It is a difficult condition to evaluate clinically and surgery is often necessary to establish the diagnosis. In this case report, a 12 year old female isolated fallopian tube torsion (ITT) -a rare condition in the pediatric age group requiring laparoscopic surgery due to recurrance- is presented with acute pelvic pain, nausea, and vomiting. A diagnostic laparoscopy was performed which confirmed the diagnosis of isolated tubal torsion. Based on this experience as well as other similar reported cases, isolated torsion of the fallopian tube should beconsidered in the differential diagnosis of acute lower abdominal/pelvic pain in the female patient. Prompt surgical intervention may allow for preservation of the tube.
