EC Gynaecology

Different congenital abnormalities of the fallopian tubes can be found during laparoscopies performed due to infertility or for other conditions.

We report a case of a rare congenital abnormality of Fallopian tubes there the middle portions of tubes were located extraperitoneally in a woman previously had a pregnancy and delivery.

It is the evidence of the importance of chromohydrotubation during the laparoscopic investigation of implied tubal infertility even if the middle part of the tubes is unobservable.
