Özet

Although isolated torsion of the tuba is very rare, it should be kept in mind especially in women of reproductive age who present with abdominal pain, as it causes fertility problems especially in late diagnosed cases. Pre-operative diagnosis is difficult because there is no pathognomonic symptom or specific clinical, imaging and laboratory findings. Therefore, it should be considered in reproductive age women presenting with undiagnosed abdominal pain.
