Torsion of fallopian tube is less frequent but significant cause of lower abdominal pain in reproductive age women that is difficult to recognize pre-operatively. Most of the cases with isolated fallopian tubal torsion have a delayed diagnosis and a subsequent delay of timely intervention that may result in failure to save the tubal function. Here we present a case of 22 years old female with torsion of hematosalpinx who presented with chronic lower abdominal pain that was successfully treated. Pre-operative imaging was non-specific. Laparoscopic detorsion and salpingectomy was performed, successfully preserving the ovaries.
