Complete uterine inversion is a rare obstetrical emergency. Prompt recognition and treatment, including deepening anesthesia to relax the cervico-uterine junction, are crucial for successful uterine replacement and patient recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Puerperal uterine inversion is a rare but serious obstetrical emergency.
  • It occurs in approximately 1 in 20,000 deliveries and carries a significant mortality rate of 15%.

Observation:

  • A case of complete uterine inversion is presented in a 27-year-old woman following the delivery of her third child.
  • Manual removal of the placenta under general anesthesia led to immediate uterine fundal protrusion and severe maternal shock, including unmeasurable blood pressure and cyanosis.

Findings:

  • The inverted uterus was irreducible until anesthesia was deepened, suggesting uterine atony or cervical spasm.
  • Following uterine replacement, the patient's blood pressure improved, and she stabilized, indicating the critical role of prompt intervention.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of immediate recognition and rapid management of uterine inversion.
  • Deepening anesthesia to achieve uterine relaxation is a key therapeutic strategy for successful replacement and improved patient outcomes.
  • Early intervention is vital to reduce the high mortality associated with this obstetric emergency.
