Approximately 15% of women have a retroverted uterus prior to pregnancy, and retroversion occurs in 11% of women in the first trimester of pregnancy. However, the uterus usually moves to an upward position before 14 weeks' gestation. Incarceration and sacculation of a retroverted uterus occur in 1 in 3000 pregnancies and are difficult to diagnose.

Background: We describe a case of cesarean delivery by posterior hysterotomy in a woman with uterine torsion secondary to a blocked retroverted uterus.

At cesarean delivery, intraoperative inspection revealed the uterus to be twisted 180 degrees without evidence of posterior sacculation.
