A young married women in her 3rd ongoing pregnancy, having no alive issue
presented at 37+ weeks with labour pains. Cesarean section was planned because of twin pregnancy and past bad
obstetrical history. During operation, the uterus was found to have rotated to 180 degree to the right. A transverse
incision was made on posterior wall of uterus to deliver babies. After suturing the incision site, the uterus was
repositioned in right place. This paper presents a case of torsion of gravid uterus in which the delivery and repositioning
of the uterus was successful.
