180 DEGREES TORSION OF THE TERM GRAVID UTERUS –A CASE REPORT ON THIS RARE OBSTETRIC EMERGENCY
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 23
Abstract
Uterine torsion is defined as a rotation of the uterus of more than 45 degrees on its long axis. It is an unusual complication of pregnancy and for most obstetricians it probably represents a ‘once in a lifetime' diagnosis (1). Uterine torsion usually ranges from 45 degrees to 180 degrees but some cases of torsion of up to 720 degrees have also been reported (2). Until 1992, only 212 cases had been reported in literature (3). Dextrorotation occurs in two thirds of the cases and levorotation is found in the other one third (4).
