  • Title: Sonographic diagnosis of complete uterine inversion: an unusual case.
    Author: Pan J, Zhou L, Huang A, Wang J.
    Journal: Clin Exp Obstet Gynecol; 2015; 42(2):240-2. PubMed ID: 26054129.
    Abstract:
    Complete puerperal uterine inversion is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening obstetric emergency. It generally occurs as an obstetrical complication in the postpartum period and can present in acute, subacute, and chronic forms depending on the time interval after delivery. Maternal mortality has been reported to be as high as 15%, mainly because of life associated threatening blood loss and shock. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential, but diagnosis of this is not simple. This is a report of unusual case of complete uterine inversion diagnosed by accurate ultrasound leading to prompt potentially life-saving treatment.
