Clinicopathological characteristics and etiological considerations of isolated fallopian tube torsion in pediatric patients: a single center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) is an uncommon yet significant differential diagnosis in pediatric female patients presenting with acute abdominal pain. Delayed recognition may lead to tubal necrosis, necessitating salpingectomy and potentially compromising future fertility. Due to its low incidence and nonspecific clinical presentation, IFTT remains underdiagnosed in the pediatric population. This study aims to investigate the preoperative diagnosis and postoperative pathological conditions of IFTT patients.

Methods

A retrospective case series was conducted at Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, between January 2020 and December 2024. Pediatric female patients under 18 years of age with intraoperatively confirmed IFTT were included. Da
