Abstract

Although adnexal torsion is a common condition, isolated tubal torsion is rather rare. It must be considered in differential diagnosis because delays in making the diagnosis may lead to fertility problems. Our case presented to our clinic with pelvic pain. The transvaginal ultrasonography USG revealed a cyst approximately the size of 8 cm in the left adnexal region that did not exhibit blood flow on Doppler USG. The patient underwent laparoscopy with a preliminary diagnosis of adnexal torsion. The patient who had a left paratubal cyst and associated isolated tubal torsion underwent simple cystectomy.

Paratubal Kist ile Birlikte İzole Tuba Torsiyonu

Abstract

Adneksial torsiyon nispeten yaygın olmasına rağmen izole tuba torsiyonu nadir olarak görülmektedir.Ttanıda gecikme fertilite problemlerine neden olabileceği için ayırıcı tanıda tubal torsiyonda olmalıdır. Olgu kliniğimize pelvik ağrı ile başvurdu. Doppler ultrasonografi USG ile akımın izlenmediği transvajinal USG’de sol adneksiyal alanda yaklaşık 8 cm boyutlarında bir kist saptandı. Hastaya adneksiyal torsiyon ön tanısı ile laparoskopi yapıldı. Sol paratubal kisti olan hastaya basit kistektomi uygulandı.
