Abstract
Uterine torsion is a rare gynecological emergency. It occurs mainly in gravid uterus and extremely rarely in non-gravid uterus. In this article, we report a case of torsion of non-gravid uterus accompanied by a large intramural leiomyoma with focus on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
