Torsion of a gravid uterus is a rare obstetric emergency potentially lethal for the fetus and the mother. Some of the cases described in literature are associated with preexisting gynecologic conditions related to pelvic and uterine anatomy, even if most of cases remain unexplained. We report a case of acute 180-degree torsion of uterus at 33 weeks of gestation associated with abruptio placentae in a young Asian woman without apparent risk factors.

“…Uterine torsion may be asymptomatic or may present as failure to progress in labour, obstructed labour, intestinal obstruction, urinary complaints, abdominal pain, uterine hypertonus, vaginal bleeding and maternal shock [ 2 ]. The diagnosis is usually made incidentally at the time of caesarean delivery, and management is often derotation of the gravid uterus followed by lower segment transverse incision on the anterior uterine wall [ 1–4 ].…”

We present a case of a 30-year-old primigravida, at 38-week gestation, who had a posterior classical uterine incision due to a huge anterior wall leiomyoma associated with uterine torsion and breech presentation. The rarity of this type of uterine incision, the size of the uterine myoma and the uterine torsion prompted this case report. During caesarean section, the diagnoses of uterine torsion and a huge anterior wall leiomyoma were made. She had safe delivery of the fetus through a posterior classical caesarean section. The patient had an uneventful post-operative period and was discharged home with her baby on the fourth post-operative day.
