Abstract:
Acute uterine inversion is a rare and potentially life-threatening obstetric emergency. Its occurrence as a result of a mid-trimester abortion is an even rarer consequence. We report a case of a 32-year-old woman who presented with complete acute uterine inversion and hemorrhagic shock following an incomplete medical abortion at 14 weeks of gestation. Our attempts at non-operative reversal of the inversion failed. Therefore, we resorted to the manual replacement of the uterus via laparotomy without using surgical instruments or an incision in the cervical ring. The laparotomic manual replacement served as a successful alternative with minimal immediate or long-term morbidity that may have resulted from trauma and scarring of the uterus.
