Ovarian torsion remains the 5th commonest gynaecological emergency (Abbas et al. 2017). Ovarian torsion rarely presents without symptoms; and a diagnosis can be difficult due to non-specific clinical, radiological and laboratory findings (Helvie and Silver 1989). A delay in diagnosis is common, leading to the devastating results of an ovarian infarction and necrosis. Functional ovarian cysts are very common during the peripubertal years and may predispose to adnexal twisting (Kurtoglu et al. 2014). Dermoid cysts are common, accounting for 10–20% of ovarian neoplasms in women around 30 years (Abbas et al. 2017). Most dermoid cysts are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally by ultrasound or clinical examinations (Abbas et al. 2017). In this case, we comment on the missed ovarian torsion resulting in an auto salpingooophorectomy, which was discovered incidentally during a laparoscopy.
