Magnetic resonance imaging and gasless laparoendoscopic single‐site surgery for the diagnosis and management of isolated tubal torsion with a paratubal cyst at 31 weeks of gestation: A case report and literature review.

A 30‐year‐old nulliparous woman was transferred under suspicion of acute appendicitis, due to the sudden onset of severe right lower quadrant pain at 31 weeks and 4 days of gestation. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic mass measuring 40 mm in diameter in the right lower abdomen. Because the right ovary without edematous swelling was noted adjacent to the cystic mass, isolated tubal torsion was strongly suspected. Emergency gasless laparoendoscopic single‐site surgery showed isolated torsion of the right fallopian tube with a paratubal cyst. The right ovary was not involved in this torsion. Because the color tone of the distal portion of the fallopian tube did not recover sufficiently after detorsion, right salpingectomy was performed. Postoperatively, the infusion of magnesium sulfate was initiated due to increased uterine contraction and continued until 36 weeks of gestation. At 38 weeks and 1 day of gestation, uneventful vaginal delivery yielded a healthy female infant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
