Hematosalpinx and torsion of the fallopian tube in a virgin girl

Gynecol Obstet Invest. 1993;35(2):123-5. doi: 10.1159/000292680.

Abstract

Torsion of the fallopian tube is encountered in the diseased tube. The present report describes a hematosalpinx and its tubal torsion in a virgin girl who experienced no prior predisposing factors suggested for tubal obstruction and adhesions. This rare case may highlight a new insight into pathophysiology of tubal torsion associated with hematosalpinx.
