Abstract
|
|
|
|
Uterine leiomyomas cause some complications in pregnancy. Most common complication is red degeneration causing acute pelvic pain. Torsion of a uterine leiomyoma is rare but more frequent during pregnancy. It represents emergency surgery to improve symptoms and prevent complications such as consumptive coagulopathy. We have experienced a case of torsion of subserosal leiomyoma during 1st trimester of pregnancy managed using laparotomy and successfully delivered vaginally at fullterm period. So, we report the case with brief review of literatures.
