Unusual cause of acute abdominal pain: Uterine torsion

Abstract

Uterine torsion is an unusual cause of acute abdominal pain and it can be seen in pregnancy but torsion of non-pregnant uterus is a very rare condition. It may cause irreversible ischemic changes and life-threatening conditions. To prevent these complications, early and correct diagnosis is of great importance. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are successful methods for prompt diagnosis in suspected cases. Also, these methods can guide the surgeon. The aim of this case was to evaluate the clinical and imaging findings of a non-pregnant patient with uterine torsion.
