AI Article Synopsis
- Isolated fallopian tube torsion is a rare condition that typically occurs in women of reproductive age but can also affect children.
- An 11-year-old girl was diagnosed with this condition after presenting with abdominal pain, and the diagnosis was confirmed through radiological evaluation.
- It's important to recognize that normal ovarian blood flow does not rule out isolated fallopian tube torsion, which requires prompt medical intervention.
Article Abstract
Isolated fallopian tube torsion is a rare cause of acute abdomen mostly seen in women of reproductive age. It is often diagnosed during surgery. In this study we aimed to present a case of isolated fallopian tube torsion in a child. An 11-year-old girl presented with abdominal pain. With the help of radiological evaluation we diagnosed. It should be kept in mind that even if ovarian blood flow is normal in girls with abdominal pain, it may be an isolated tubular torsion and requires immediate intervention.

Gallbladder volvulus is a rare but potentially severe condition that requires urgent surgical intervention. This report presents two contrasting cases of gallbladder volvulus with distinct pathogenic mechanisms and degrees of torsion. The first case involves a 97-year-old female who presented with acute symptoms and 270° torsion, leading to complete gallbladder necrosis (Gross type II).

Torsion of extralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital anomalous condition that can manifest with various symptoms, including abdominal pain. However, a masslike lesion in the mediastinum can be easily overlooked when the clinician focuses only on abdominal pain. By using magnetic resonance imaging, a few features specific to the torsion of extralobar pulmonary sequestration can be identified, and that information will be helpful.

Bronchial atresia (BA) and azygos lobe (AL) are rare congenital pulmonary abnormalities in pediatric patients. We herein report an infantile case of BA combined with AL that was treated with thoracoscopic surgery. The patient was an 8-month-old boy who was preoperatively diagnosed with BA of the right upper lobe (RUL) combined with an AL using fetal magnetic resonance imaging and postnatal enhanced computed tomography.

Introduction: Accessory spleens are a common anatomical variant, consisting of ectopic splenic tissue present in different locations in the peritoneal cavity. Typically asymptomatic, the presence of these tissue grows to be of clinical importance when complicated by infarction, rupture, or torsion.
Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a 36-year-old female that presented to the Emergency Department for diffuse abdominal pain and was found to have a partially ruptured splenule secondary to a venous infarct on abdominal computed tomography scan.

Background: Fetal midgut volvulus is a rare disease, with a high risk of potentially life-threatening fetal complications.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the imaging findings of fetal midgut volvulus diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explore its value in non-invasive prenatal diagnosis.
Methods: A retrospective collection of data from 156 fetuses suspected of intestinal obstruction by ultrasound examination in our hospital was conducted.
