Uteroovarian ligament torsion of the due to a paratubal cyst.
Paratubal cysts rarely undergo torsion. When they do, typically they involve the infundibulopelvic ligament and affect the ovary and fallopian tube. We present a case and discussion of torsion of the uteroovarian ligament secondary to a large paratubal cyst with preservation of the ovary and fallopian tube.
