Uterine torsion in pregnancy. Case Report.

: This paper describes a case of uterine torsion not only around the long, but also the horizontal axis, diagnosed post-operatively. The patient was 28-years-old, II/I in the 34th week of her gravidity. She was admitted due to amniotic fluid leak. Due to unsuccessful delivery induction using prostaglandins, a caesarean section was indicated to end the gravidity. Uterine torsion 180° around the longitudinal axis and 90° around the transversal axis was diagnosed during the surgery. The uterine wound was treated in accordance with guidelines and the patient was dismissed in a good condition. Control hysteroscopy and laparoscopy done after a time interval showed problem-free healing of the wound in the posterior uterine wall.
