Adnexal torsion frequently causes acute pelvic pain in women. Ovarian tumour torsion is common; twisting and torsion of a fallopian tube are rare. This report presents a rare case of fallopian tubal torsion requiring the management of a large hydrosalpinx with laparoscopic surgery. A 48-year-old woman reported with acute abdominal pain and lower abdomen tenderness. Transvaginal ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a cystic mass on the anterior uterine surface. Emergency surgery was performed for a suspected torsion of the left ovarian cyst. In the abdominal cavity, the left fallopian tube was enlarged (neonatal head size), dark purple coloured, and exhibited a 180° torsion; the left ovary was normal. Laparoscopic left salpingectomy was performed and the postoperative course was uneventful. Surgical pathology revealed hydrosalpinx with torsion. As diagnosing isolated fallopian tube torsion before surgery is difficult, laparoscopic surgery is useful in diagnosing and treating isolated tubal torsion.

To the Vorrat l. a woman was brought in a state of collapse with a diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy; pulse 144, barely perceptible. The rupture occurred in 18 hours, there were fainting, vomiting. The abdomen is not distended, soft, the tumor cannot be felt from the outside, and per vaginam examination is not done to speed up the operation. When the abdomen was opened, the tissues were found bloodless: none of the vessels showed blood; a few pounds of liquid blood spilled out of the peritoneal cavity; clamps were placed on the stretched right fallopian tube and broad ligament, and the fallopian tube was excised along with the ovary; the rupture was near the uterus. The operated woman recovered, although W. did not count on it.

Background: Fallopian tube is one of the vital organ for human fertility.This is where the sperm fertilizes the ovum and human life begins. Detailed  morphological knowledge is essential for proper diagnosis and management of disease of fallopian tube. Study Design: Cross Sectional descriptive type of study. Place & period of study: Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2008 to June 2009. Materials: 120 postmortem human fallopian tubes were collected from 60 unclaimed dead bodies that were under examination in the morgue of Department of Forensic Medicine, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. Methods: The samples were divided into three age groups: Group-A (10-13 years), Group-B (14-45 years) and Group-C (46-50 years). Results: The mean(±SD) number of fimbriae of the right & left Fallopian tubes were 21.20(±3.63) and 21.00(±4.00) in group A, 21.71(±2.13) and 21.53(±2.07) in group B and 20.90(±3.48) and 21.20± 2.30 in group C respectively.The highest mean number was found in group B and lowest mean number was in group A. The mean difference in number of fimbria of right and left Fallopian tube between Group-A, Group-B and Group-C were statistically not significant. Conclusion:In this study, the number of fimbriae does not vary in between right and left fallopian tubes, in any age group.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/updcj.v2i1.13956 Update Dent.
