Abstract
Isolated torsion of fallopian tube is very uncommon during pregnancy. Predisposing factors for torsion are hydrosalpinx, prior tubal operati on, pelvic congestion, ovarian and paraovarian masses and trauma. Alth ough the most important clinical symptom is abdominal pain in lower qu adrants, the diagnosis is usually established during the operation per formed for acute abdomen and salpingectomy is almost always necessary. Two cases of torsion of fallopian tube during pregnancy, one with hyd rosalpinx, the other with paratubal cyst are presented and symptoms an d predisposing factors are discussed.
