A notion of normal torsion at a point along an asymptotic direction of a two-dimensional surface in a Riemannian space is introduced. A complete description of two-dimensional surfaces without asymptotic directions with zero normal torsion at any point and any direction in the surface is given, for a four-dimensional Riemannian space of constant curvature.
