Abstract
Background:
Simultaneous pregnancy in each horn of a uterus didelphys is a rare and complex clinical situation.
Case:
Torsion of one horn of a gravid didelphic uterus during a twin pregnancy was diagnosed during cesarean delivery after erroneous diagnosis of abruptio placentae.
Conclusion:
Localization of the placenta in a pregnancy complicated by uterine didelphys may improve the ability to diagnose hemiuterus torsion.
