Isolated fallopian tube torsion presenting in labor. A case report.
Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube was discovered during labor. Tubal torsion may occur in the absence of adnexal disease. Diagnosing this disorder is especially difficult in labor, when other causes, such as disruption of a prior uterine scar, may be considered.
