Background: Uterine volvulus is a rare occurrence, especially in non-gravid uteri. Uterine volvulus can lead to ischemia and necrosis when left undetected. Case: A 73-year-old woman with acute abdominal pain and known history of fibroid uterus underwent an exploratory laparotomy showing a uterine volvulus, which resulted in uterine and adnexal necrosis. Results: The patient's pain, which was secondary to torsion of her uterus, resolved after hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Conclusion: Uterine volvulus, although rare, is a gynecological emergency that should be detected quickly to prevent severe morbidity and to conserve fertility in reproductive-age women.
