salpingitis isthmica nodosa
A nodular ('nodosa') thickening of the fallopian tube's isthmus ('isthmica'), probably due to previous salpingitis. Can cause localised obstruction of the tube and, if the obstruction is partial, an ectopic pregnancy can be caused. Overcomeable with microsurgery or tubal canalisation.
