Abstract

The torsion of the uterus is a rare gynecological emergency. It occurs mainly in the gravid uterus and extremely rarely in the non-gravid uterus. In this article, we report a case of a torsion of non-gravid uterus accompanied by a huge intramural leiomyoma with focus on CT and MR imaging findings.

자궁염전은 매우 드물게 발생하는 산부인과적 응급상황이다. 주로 임신 자궁에서 발생하고 비임신 자궁에서는 더욱 드물다. 저자들은 비임신 여성에서 자궁근종이 동반된 자궁염전 1예를 경험하여, 이를 CT와 MRI 영상의학적 소견을 중심으로 보고하고자 한다.
