Isolated Fallopian Tube Torsion
https://t.me/medicina_free

Abstract
Isolated Fallopian tube torsion is an extremely rare condition in pregnancy. Less than 50 cases have been published. Risk factors include mechanical, anatomical, physiologi­cal, and pathological conditions. The specic­ity of this condition is that more than 90% develop on the right side, probably due to the protective effect of the sigmoid colon on the left side. Clinical presentation is the same as for adnexal torsion; sometimes, even with abdominal ultrasound, the preoperative dis­tinction between adnexal and Fallopian tube torsion is impossible. Differential diagnosis is comprehensive as for adnexal torsion. The condition appears predominantly on the right, so it is commonly misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis. Therefore, MRI is useful in such presentations. Suspicion of Fallopian tube tor­sion is an indication for operative interven­tion. Laparoscopy is the abdominal entry of choice. Detorsion is the procedure of choice even when ischemic changes are present. Without restoration of vitality after detorsion, salpingectomy is indicated.
and a half times twisted and removed by Henry Morris, whom he assisted. The specimen is pre­served in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons. Hansen reported the rst pediatric case in 1922 [2].
The rst known description during pregnancy was by J Praeger (Klinikum Chemnitz) in 1899 [3]. He found dark-red cystic swelling, which turned out to be a left Fallopian tube, with a ped­icle twisted twice in the direction of the hands of a watch. The ovary was not involved. Contents of the cyst were bloody uid and detritus. Recovery was complete, and pregnancy was not inter­rupted. Pozzi’s case in pregnancy in 1900 and two cases by Pinard in 1901–1902 followed [4]. Before them, in 1893, Martin described IFTT from ectopic tubal pregnancy [5]. One of the rst reviews that included pregnant women was by Hamilton Bell in 1904 [4]. McKerrow, in 1934 [6] and later Savage (Department of Obstetrics, School of Medicine, University of Maryland Baltimore, Maryland, USA) in 1936 [7], col­lected 13 published cases (some included torsion of both ovary and tube) and added his own.

7.2 Incidence
Torsion of the Fallopian tube (FT) hydatids of Morgagni could cause acute abdominal pain in adolescents, in 25% of adnexal torsions in this subgroup. However, the condition is an uncom­mon cause of adnexal torsion in adults [811].

The incidence of IFTT from previous reports was 1/1,500,000 [8, 12]; however, the incidence appears to be higher. West Hertfordshire NHS Trust claimed 1/125,000in 3 years. Régad, in 1933, collected 201 cases in the general popu­lation with an incidence in pregnancy of 12% [13]. IFTT in pregnancy involves 12–20% of all cases of IFTT [1315]; others 1/120,000 preg­nancies (1991–2000) [14]. The literature since 1900 revealed 60 cases [7, 10, 1466], includ­ing ectopic pregnancy with IFTT. The inci­dence of IFTT of the normal FT during pregnancy could be increased compared to the general population [6, 7, 6770]. Others found torsion of hydrosalpinx during gestation [6366].
The distribution across trimesters is [8]:
First trimester 13.3% Second trimester 20% Third trimester 60% Intrapartum 6.7%

anatomic abnormalities: long mesosal­pinx, tubal abnormalities, hematosal­pinx, hydrosalpinx, varicose veins in mesosalpinx, hydatid of Morgagni, ectopic tubal pregnancy, paratubal cyst,
physiological abnormalities: abnormal peristalsis or hypermotility of the tube (autonomic dysfunction), tubal spasm, and intestinal peristalsis,
hemodynamic/hormonal abnormalities: venous congestion in the mesosalpinx (progesterone effects of edema and increased tissue vascularity),
Sellheim theory: sudden body position changes,
trauma, previous abdominal/gyneco- logic surgery, or disease: tubal ligation, PID, tubal endometrioma,

7.3.1 Risk Factors
It is a fact that the Fallopian tube, when distended with simple uid and blood, pus, or even when gravid, does twist its pedicle.
(Sir John Bland-Sutton, 1904)
IFTT in the general female population can occur at any age, mostly under 30. Risk factors are divided into two categories. Intrinsic factors include congenital anomalies or acquired FT pathology (hydrosalpinx, hematosalpinx, neo­plasm, surgery, autonomic dysfunction, and abnormal peristalsis). Extrinsic factors include changes in the neighboring organs such as neo­plasm, adhesions, pregnancy, mechanical factors, movement or trauma to the pelvic organs, or pel­vic congestion [71]. Broader classication of causes and theories for IFTT in the general and pregnant population includes [810, 14, 35, 37,
40, 41, 72]:
7.3.2 Pathophysiology
The anatomical theory hypothesizes that the tubes tend to stretch and elongate with fetal growth during pregnancy. The ovaries come to lie in closer relation to the fundus of the uterus. Since the tube is longer than the covering perito­neum, it assumes convolutions or spirals, and this appearance persists to puberty and some­times in adulthood. These spirals are considered a predisposing factor and play a part in IFTT.
A mechanical theory is that IFTT is a sequential mechanical event in general and pregnant populations. The process begins with the mechanical blockage of the adnexal veins and lymphatic vessels by an ovarian tumor, pregnancy, hydrosalpinx, or pelvic adhesions after tubal infection or pelvic operation. This obstruction causes pelvic congestion and local edema with subsequent enlargement of the FT,

which induces partial or complete torsion [73]. Torsion pronounces venous stasis and subse­quent edema. Hypoperfusion determines hypoxic tissue ischemia and whether the degree of twisting is severe enough to exceed arterial blood pressure. The late step represents com­plete blood stasis and ischemic necrosis. At this stage, cellular damage is usually irreversible, and reperfusion determined by the untwisting is not followed by restitutio ad integrum. A twisted FT undergoing necrosis can cause severe infection similar to perforated appendi­citis [74]. There can be torsion of the FT accom­panied by a paratubal cyst coiling 2.5 times around the ovary, causing ovarian congestion and enlargement [75].
The trauma applied to a pelvic organ is tan­gential and thus has a twisting movement. Symptoms often appear after unaccustomed trauma. The abdominal musculature contrac­tions impact the ovaries; this causes the right ovary to twist to the left and the left ovary to the right.
Excessive FT peristalsis and associated venous engorgement are common with premen­strual tension. Therefore, IFTT is most common in the week preceding menstruation. The veins supplying the adnexal region are longer than the arteries and twist around them when they become congested. Also, overaction of the autonomic nervous system causes abnormal FT peristalsis at this time of the cycle.
Anchoring adhesions, particularly to the m­briated end of the tube when longitudinal forces cannot be transmitted, result in excessive peri­stalsis, and the perpendicular or diagonal forces result in FT twisting. Uterine positional changes, e.g., retroversion to anteversion, cause FT posi­tional changes, making it prone to abnormal movements with possible torsion, particularly with anchoring adhesions.
IFTT in pregnancy is more common on the right side with incidence of 90% [810, 18, 22,
23, 25, 28, 29, 31, 32, 3638, 4044, 72, 75],
while only 10% are on the left side [14, 17, 24,
30, 34, 35]. Possible explanations are:
175
• the left-sided Fallopian tube is less mobile due to its proximity to the sig­moid mesentery [10, 37, 41],
• slow venous ow on the right side, which may result in congestion,
• hypermobility of the cecum and ileum [10],
• cases of right-sided pain are commonly operated on because of the suspicion of acute appendicitis [9, 37], whereas left­sided cases may be missed and resolve spontaneously.
7.4 Classication
From published cases, classication of IFTT, depending on whether ectopic pregnancy is pres­ent, can be proposed:
• IFTT with normal intrauterine pregnancy,
• IFTT with tubal ectopic pregnancy [16, 50,
76],
• IFTT with ectopic tubal pregnancy and nor­mal intrauterine pregnancy,
• The classication helps in treatment decision­making (see Sect. 7.8.2).
7.5 Clinical Presentation
The most common presenting symptom is pain, which begins in the affected unilateral lower abdomen or pelvis (typically at the level of the right uterine angle) and may radiate to the ank or thigh [9, 10, 32, 33, 37, 40, 41, 72]. The onset of pain is sudden and cramp-like. Most com­monly, the pain is constant but may be intermit­tent if partial or total detorsion occurs [22, 33, 37,
41]. Pain duration is usually less than 48h, but
can last up to 10days [36]. During labor, the pain unrelated to uterine contractions is present [8], or persistent pain is present after (induction of) labor [28]. Other symptoms include nausea,
176

7 Isolated Fallopian Tube Torsion
vomiting, bowel, and bladder complaints, such as urgency but no associated dysuria [9, 10, 14, 17,
22, 37, 40, 41]. Some patients recall previous epi-
sodes of similar symptomatology, mostly less intense, indicating recurrent IFTT [42]. Some may have similar episodes after operative detorsion [77]. There is no disturbance of bowel action.
Most commonly, physical examination reveals good general condition and an afebrile state with stable vital signs [17, 22]. Low-grade fever in 15% of patients indicates necrotic changes of the FT [23, 78]. In almost all patients, abdominal tenderness is present, and guarding can develop in advanced cases [8, 40, 41]. Average fundal height corresponds to the period of gestation. The uterus is relaxed with a regular fetal heart without uterine contractions. Tenderness occurs in the lower abdominal quadrant, on the side of IFTT.A tender adnexal mass may be palpable. Pelvic examination may reveal palpable tender, tense adnexal mass associated with cervical tenderness [79]. The vaginal examination shows a closed cervix without any evidence of bleeding or any abnormal discharge. If scant uterine/vaginal bleeding occurs before or with abdominal pain, ectopic pregnancy or IFTT should be suspected [80]. The bowel sounds are normal. Varicose veins in the mesosalpinx can rupture and mimic ectopic pregnancy, or concomitant ectopic preg­nancy may be present [16], causing massive bleeding with symptoms and signs of hemor­rhagic shock [81].
It is feasible that an IFTT may occur with sub­sequent spontaneous detorsion. The patient will complain of transient lower abdominal pain, and a denite diagnosis is challenging.
7.6 Dierential Diagnosis
With symptoms, signs, and physical ndings similar to other common diseases, the diagnosis of IFTT is rarely established preoperatively [8
10, 37, 40, 41, 43, 44, 72]. The correct preopera-
tive diagnosis in pregnancy before 1936 was 0% [7]; until 2009, it was 37% [78]. The preoperative diagnosis of IFTT of normal-sized FT with a nor-

mal appearance of the ovaries is extremely dif­cult. The differential diagnosis is presented in Table7.1.
7.7 Diagnosis
7.7.1 Laboratory Findings
White blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimen­tation rate are mostly normal or slightly elevated [10, 17, 22, 37, 40, 41]. Granulocytosis could be present with a normal white blood cell count [17]. A high white blood cell count indicates IFTT with necrosis [23]. Urinalysis is commonly normal [17, 22].
7.7.2 Abdominal Ultrasound
Transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound (US) is mandatory [17, 82]. First, the status of the fetus and the placenta should be checked [17], then the pathology searched. The US shows an elongated, convoluted cystic mass with good pos­terior enhancement (Fig.7.1), tapering as it nears the uterine corn, with normal ipsilateral ovary [82], free uid, a dilated tube with thickened echogenic walls, and internal debris or a convo­luted echogenic mass [75, 83, 84]. The US nd­ings of IFTT are not pathognomonic and are quite variable [24], especially in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, where the adnexa are more difcult to visualize. An IFTT is often misdiagnosed as ovarian torsion. The paraovarian

Left-sided mass is anechoic with a small echoic focus posteriorly, while the right-sided mass was hypoechoic with uniform low-level echoes within. They had an appearance of a single bilobed structure with good posterior enhancement. A cyst measuring 3cm in diameter (red arrow) is noted adjacent to the right ovary (blue arrow). The right ovary appears slightly enlarged and partly hypoechoic. (Reproduced with permission from [75])
and paratubal cysts are difcult to diagnose when a mass is close to the ipsilateral ovary [85]. However, a clear interface is seen between the ovarian surface and the cyst in most cases, mak­ing diagnosis possible. US Whirlpool sign of IFTT is diagnostic [86]. Acute adnexal pain with conrmed pelvic cystic structure and normal ipsilateral ovary strongly suggests tubal or para­tubal cyst torsion [78]. Varicose veins in the mesosalpinx can rupture and mimic ectopic/het­erotopic pregnancy. Transabdominal US rules out hepatobiliary and urologic pathology.
High impedance, reversal, or absence of reverse end-diastolic vascular ow of the tubal wall can be found on spectral Doppler analysis. However, these ndings can be difcult to interpret [85].
7.7.3 Abdominal CT
CT ndings in the general female population (rarely used in pregnancy) with IFTT include an adnexal mass, a twisted appearance to the FT,

dilated tube greater than 15mm, a thickened and enhancing tubal wall, and luminal CT attenua­tion >50 Hounseld units consistent with hemor­rhage (Fig. 7.2). IFTT or adnexal torsion’s secondary signs include free intrapelvic uid, peritubular fat stranding, enhancement and thickening of the broad ligament, and regional ileus [83, 87].
7.7.4 Abdominal MRI
MRI accurately diagnoses IFTT in pregnancy and is an excellent alternative to diagnostic exploration [29]. By combining an excellent soft­tissue contrast with a large eld of view, MRI allows further differentiation of cystic lesions and their relations with intestinal and internal genital structures. T2-weighted MRI ndings of dilated and tortuous FT in the presence of a nor­mal ovary (Fig.7.3) give a clue towards the pos­sibility of IFTT [45]. Excluding bleeding in the dilated FT on T1-weighted images excludes ecto­pic tubal pregnancy. MRI conrms the Whirlpool sign from color Doppler US, helping in an early preoperative diagnosis [45, 86].

7.8 Treatment
It is important to distinguish between ovarian tor­sion and IFTT even if both require a surgical approach. The preoperative knowledge of a nor­mal ovarian structure and vascularization by 2D and Doppler US help preserve a normal-looking ovary or partially damaged due to the adjacent tubal torsion. Thus, it would be possible to pre-
the normal-appearing sigmoid colon (asterisk) and ipsilat­eral ovary (arrowhead). (Reproduced with permission from [45] under the CC BY 4.0)
serve ovarian function while avoiding premature loss of the corpus luteum gravidarum in early pregnancy cases and other adverse obstetric sequelae [37, 43]. Second, the preoperative knowledge of a normal ovary reduces patients’ preoperative anxiety related to eventual oophorec­tomy. On the other hand, if the patient does not want any more children, operative sterilization could be performed during the emergent opera-
