Case study: Recurrent uterine incarceration during pregnancy

Uterine incarceration is a rare complication of pregnancy. The most frequent complications are pain and urinary retention.

We present the case of a patient who had presented a uterine incarceration during her first pregnancy, requiring a reduction under general anesthesia at 27⁺⁰ weeks of gestation complicated by premature delivery at 29⁺⁰ weeks of gestation. In the subsequent pregnancy, recurrent symptomatology encouraged earlier reduction at 19⁺⁵ weeks of gestation under locoregional anesthesia with term delivery.

Reccurent symptomatology of uterine incarceration during early mid trimester of pregnancy favored earlier diagnosis and successful reduction by digital manoeuver.
