Isolated recurrent torsion of the Fallopian tube

We report a rare clinical case of recurrent isolated torsion of the Fallopi an tube. An 18 year old woman presented with acute right lower quadrant pai n, nausea and vomiting. Torsion of the Fallopian tube was detected by lapar oscopy and detorsion was performed. Two years later, a second similar episo de of pelvic pain recurred. Having in mind the first episode, diagnosis was facilitated and detorsion was performed in accordance with the patient's w ishes. However, the dilemma of ideal management of recurrent cases of torsi on of the same tube remains open for discussion. The possibility of torsion of the Fallopian tube and recurrent torsion of the tube, although rare, sh ould be considered in any patient with acute onset of lower abdominal pain.
