A case of complete inversion of the uterus through the uterine incision at the time of Caesarean section is presented. The possible aetiological factors were a short cord and fundal insertion of the placenta. Disappearance of the lower segment incision and the raw appearance of the endometrial surface of a completely inverted uterus posed a diagnostic dilemma. Prompt understanding and immediate repositioning by a simple technique prevented any further complications. This rare complication of Caesarean section and its easy principles of management are described for the benefit of an unwary obstetrician.
