Presentation of the case: A 34-year-old nulligravid woman with inability to conceive for 7 months presented to our center. Her hysterosalpingography revealed a blind-ending right fallopian tube, and a blocked and dilated left fallopian tube. Laparoscopy showed a long, auto-amputated right fallopian tube, disconnected from the fimbriae and a long, dilated left fallopian tube, with several twists around its axis. Bilateral salpingectomy was performed. The patient subsequently underwent IVF, resulting in an ongoing pregnancy. Conclusion: Spontaneous torsion of the fallopian tubes can manifest as primary infertility without any antecedent symptoms and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bilateral tubal obstruction. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2217\/whe.16.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,1]],"date-time":"2018-08-01T12:21:02Z","timestamp":1533126062000},"page":"297-301","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Spontaneous Bilateral Torsion of Fallopian Tubes Presenting as Primary Infertility"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Erin M","family":"Murphy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ronald O Perelman & Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical Center, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nigel","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ronald O Perelman & Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical Center, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexis P","family":"Melnick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ronald O Perelman & Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical Center, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven D","family":"Spandorfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ronald O Perelman & Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical Center, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1a-whe.16.2","unstructured":"Papers of special note have been highlighted as: \u2022 of interest; \u2022\u2022of considerable interest"},{"key":"bibr1-whe.16.2","first-page":"CD006415","volume":"3","author":"Pandian Z","year":"2008","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst.
