    Abstract:
    This study was performed to describe the clinical features, risk factors, and treatment methods of uterine torsion in pregnancy. The most common symptoms are abdominal pain, fetal heart rate changes, and failure of cervical dilatation and are often accompanied by complete or partial placental abruption. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging even with the use of ultrasound. Uterine torsion in the third trimester is correlated with the presence of multiple uterine fibroids. The causes of gravid uterine torsion vary and the clinical manifestations are nonspecific. Early diagnosis and improved detection approaches are the keys to treatment of patients with uterine torsion. However, the preoperative diagnosis remains difficult and the diagnosis is often made during cesarean section.
