Abstract:
Torsion of the follopian tube is an infrequent but significant cause of acute lower abdominal pain in females that is difficult to recognize preoperatively, although prompt diagnosis and timely sugical treatment are vital to salvage the oviduct. Unless a high index of suspicion is maintained for torsion of the fallopian tube in a adolescent females, this disorder may not be detected until after tubal destruction.
