Abstract
Uterine inversion is an uncommon and unpredictable
but potentially life threatening obstetric emergency. The
typical presentation is that of severe postpartum
haemorrhage and shock along with a mass either felt in the
vagina or protruding outside the introitus. Early recognition
and prompt management (by teamwork) by simultaneous
correction of shock and repositioning of the inverted uterus
are imperative in order to minimize the potential for maternal
morbidity and mortality. There is a need for skills and drills
training because of the rarity of acute inversion. Here is a
present a case report of acute inversion of uterus following
vaginal delivery and its management. The accompanying
review of the literature provides helpful insights into the
diagnosis and optimal management of this potentially life
threatening condition.
