UTERINE TORSION- AN OBSTETRICIAN'S NIGHTMARE
Uterine torsion rare in human and has been referred to as an 'obstetrician's once in a lifetime diagnosis'. Uterine torsion is a potentially dangerous complication of pregnancy both to mother and to the fetus. Torsion of less than 45 degrees is considered physiological, but rotation of the uterus of more than 45degrees on its longitudinal axis is considered pathological. Dextro-rotation is more common than levorotatory according to literature. We encountered one case as such which was managed at our institute.
