A VERY RARE CASE OF TORSION OF A NON-GRAVID UTERUS DUE TO LARGE INTRAMURAL MYOMA
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 16
Abstract
Torsion of ovary especially dermoid is very common but torsion of uterus is a rare phenomenon. Torsion of gravid uterus has been reported in many journals but torsion of non-gravid uterus is rarest of the rare. Causes usually associated are big myomas involving uterine body and sparing cervix, and sometimes uterine anomalies and adnexal masses. Preoperative diagnosis is very difficult and usually diagnosis is made during laparotomy. Here we are going to discuss a case of nongravid uterine torsion in a 47 year old lady due to big intramural fibroid involving uterine body but sparing the cervix. Cervix became thin, elongated and acted like a pedicle/pivot around which torsion took place. The patient was admitted with acute abdominal pain and shock.
