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.

Nadir bir akut batın nedeni: Uterus torsiyonu

Abstract

Uterin torsiyon, akut karın ağrısının olağan dışı bir nedeni olup gebelikte görülebilir fakat gebe olmayan uterusun torsiyonu çok nadir bir durumdur. Düzeltilmeyen iskemik değişiklikler ve hayati tehlike oluşturan durumlara neden olabilir. Bu komplikasyonları önlemek için erken ve doğru tanı çok önemlidir. Şüpheli vakalarda bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme hızlı ve başarılı tanı için faydalı görüntüleme yöntemleridir. Ayrıca, bu yöntemler cerrahiye rehberlik eder. Biz burada uterin torsiyonlu gebe olmayan bir hastanın klinik ve görüntüleme bulgularını sunmayı amaçladık.
