Uterine Torsion in an Elderly Woman Associated with Leiomyoma and Continuously Elevating Muscle Enzymes: A Case Study and Review of Literature

Figure 1

Computed tomography (CT) images of the uterus and leiomyoma. Comparison of sagittal (a, c) and axial (b, d) views of the plain abdominal CT images. Compared to the CT scan taken 5 days before the surgery (a, b), the leiomyoma had slightly enlarged in size and anteriorly deviated (white arrowheads) on the day of emergency surgery (c, d). The enhanced CT image (e) showed a twisted cervix at the level of the uterine body and cervical junction (white arrow).
