Persistent retroverted uterus, a condition affecting 11-19% of pregnancies, can lead to complications if not resolved. This case highlights a late diagnosis at 36 weeks, mistaken for a pelvic mass.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • A retroverted uterus, or tipped uterus, occurs in 11-19% of pregnancies.
  • Typically, the uterus spontaneously displaces anteriorly by 14-16 weeks gestation.
  • Failure of spontaneous displacement can lead to uterine impaction.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of persistent uterine retroversion diagnosed late in pregnancy at 36 weeks gestation.
  • The condition was initially misdiagnosed as a "pelvic mass" or posterior sacculation of the uterine wall.
  • This highlights the potential for diagnostic confusion.

Findings:

  • Persistent retroverted uterus can remain undiagnosed until late gestation.
  • Misdiagnosis as a pelvic mass can occur, delaying appropriate management.

  • Literature review on incidence, complications, and management is presented.

    • Implications:

    • Early recognition and diagnosis of uterine retroversion are crucial for preventing complications.
    • Awareness of this condition is important for obstetricians to avoid misdiagnosis.
    • Proper management strategies are essential for a successful pregnancy outcome.
