Abstract
The high occurrence of paratubal cysts might suggest pathologic predisposition for ITT. Providers should maintain a high index of suspicion for ITT, particularly if associated with a paratubal cyst. Classic examination findings of surgical abdomen, leukocytosis, fever, and absence of Doppler flow are infrequently present. Laparoscopy and detorsion are appropriate treatments for managing ITT.
