Case report: MRI appearance of isolated fallopian tube torsion in an adolescent with a congenital Mullerian duct anomaly and ispilateral renal agenesis.

摘要

Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) is a rare clinical entity with a reported incidence of 1 in 1.5 million women.1 Prompt recognition maximizes the likelihood that surgery will be able to preserve fallopian tube viability and prevent secondary ischaemic injury of the ovary; however, the diagnosis is rarely established preoperatively as the presentation is non-specific with symptoms common to many other conditions. IFTT is particularly infrequent in the adolescent populationwith a review from 2008 identifying a series of only eight cases, in addition to 13 sporadic case reports. Furthermore, IFTT has never been reported in association with either a congenital uterine anomaly or renal agenesis.
