title: [Fallopian tube torsion in a 15-year-old adolescent].
abstract: 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.
  
  
  METHODS
  A case of Fallopian tube torsion bringing about a cyst is presented. Diagnostic difficulties, echography, treatment and cause are discussed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Early diagnosis and surgical intervention is mandatory when isolated Fallopian tube torsion is suspected.
