Torsion of the uterus in a cat.
An 18-month-old female Himalayan cat was diagnosed as having uterine torsion. Ultrasonography was of value in revealing fetal death, thus prompting immediate surgical intervention. Uterine torsion is a rarely observed complication of mid- to late gestation in the cat. Definitive diagnosis can be achieved only with exploratory laparotomy.
