title: Torsion of the pregnant uterus with a change in placental localization on ultrasound; a case report.
abstract: An unexpected uterine torsion at term was found during Caesarean section. In retrospect, a changing placental localization on ultrasound from the left to the right side was recorded just before the operation. This may be a useful sign to diagnose uterine torsion earlier.
