Nonpuerperal uterine inversion due to submucous leiomyoma

Area of Science:

• Gynecology
• Radiology

Background:

• Uterine inversion is a rare obstetric complication, seldom seen in non-puerperal states.
• This case presents a unique instance of uterine inversion in a postmenopausal woman.

Observation:

• A 47-year-old woman presented with blood-stained leucorrhoea and severe anemia.
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a U-shaped uterine cavity and tumor pedicles attached to the uterine fundi.

Findings:

• The patient underwent an abdominal hysterectomy.
• Intraoperative findings confirmed the diagnosis of uterine inversion.

Implications:

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable diagnostic tool for rare conditions like non-puerperal uterine inversion.
• Early and accurate diagnosis through advanced imaging can guide appropriate surgical management.
