Extreme torsion of the pregnant uterus.
Extreme uterine torsion of 180 degrees at term is a rare obstetric event and raises several critical management considerations. We report such a case detected at laparotomy for a repeat Caesarean section. The existing literature on uterine torsion is reviewed and a plan of management is suggested, based on previous reports and our own experience.
