Isolated tubal torsion is rare event during pregnancy. The clinical symptoms are often nonspecific and the diagnosis is difficult, especially in the pregnant abdomen. The diagnosis is usually established during the operation performed for acute abdomen. Early diagnosis and treatment is necessary and early gestationel weeks laparoscopy may be a considerable diagnostic tool in these cases. We report a case of isolated tubal torsion in the third trimester of the pregnancy with pararectal incision.
