|November 1, 1980
Summary
A case of chronic uterine inversion caused by a submucous fibroid prolapsing through the cervix is presented. The study outlines a safe surgical treatment approach for this rare condition.
Area of Science:
- Gynecology
- Urology
Background:
- Chronic uterine inversion is a rare condition.
- Submucous fibroids can lead to uterine prolapse and inversion.
Observation:
- A case of chronic uterine inversion involving the bladder and ureters is described.
- The inversion was caused by a prolapsing submucous fibroid.
Findings:
- The submucous fibroid acted as a lead point for uterine inversion.
- The prolapse extended through the cervix and vagina, affecting adjacent organs.
Implications:
- This case highlights the importance of considering uterine inversion in cases of large fibroids with prolapse.
- A safe operative treatment scheme is proposed for managing this complex condition.
