[Constriction ring dystocia: a special form of uterine dystocia (author's transl)]

Constriction Ring Dystocia means a rare form of uterine dystocia (0.1%--1.7%). Pathophysiologically it means a hypertonic incoordinate anomaly of labor. The paper reports two cases of constriction ring, which had been recognized first during sectio cesarean. As the measure of choose is suggested to use tocolytica, although there do not exist any experiences and there was yet no chance to utilise these medicines because of lack of early recognition.
