Preoperative diagnosis of IFTT may be more difficult than for adnexal torsion because of its infrequency and nonspecific, vague clinical symptoms.　Since the prevalent age for this disease is young, as in our first 2 patients, early surgical intervention to preserve the fallopian tubes should be chosen when necessary, and it seems to be important for gynecologists to be aware of this disease for earlier diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention.","PeriodicalId":44831,"journal":{"name":"Fukushima Journal of Medical Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11330265/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141459891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
