Abstract
UNLABELLED: Isolated Fallopian tube torsion in teenagers is extremely rare and diagnosis is difficult. Coelioscopy is necessary, but surgery often occurs too late for tube conservation. CASE REPORT: A case of Fallopian tube torsion bringing about a cyst is presented. Diagnostic difficulties, echography, treatment and cause are discussed. CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis and surgical intervention is mandatory when isolated Fallopian tube torsion is suspected.
