Abstract

Torsion of the human pregnant uterus is a very rare complication. This presentation describes repeated episodes of pathological CTG patterns in a woman whose uterus showed a levotorsion of 150 degrees at cesarean delivery. To our knowledge, such a pattern has never previously been ascribed to uterine torsion.
