Uterine torsion of 720 degrees in the third trimester of pregnancy and accompanying bladder torsion: a case report

Abstract

Partial rotation of the uterus not more than 45 degrees to the right is considered to be normal. Since all cases are not reported, the incidence of uterine torsion in pregnancy is not known exactly. In the literature, there have been reports of cases with uterine torsion ranging from 45 to 720 degrees. This is a case report of uterine torsion of 720 degrees with accompanying bladder torsion, developing after two caesarean sections, and developing of uterine atony after the operation.
