Torsion of uterine adnexa is an important cause of acute abdominal pain. Torsion of ovarian masses is quite common and isolated torsion of the fallopian tube has also been reported in the literature. However, torsion of para ovarian cyst is rare. We report a rare case of twisted paraovarian cyst. Torsion of the fallopian tube and paraovarian cyst is usually seen in the reproductive age group. Physicians need to maintain a high index of suspicion for this uncommon and often difficult to diagnose cause of abdominal pain
