Abstract
Acute uterine inversion is a life threatening and unpredictable obstetric emergency which if ignored can lead to severe haemorrhage and shock which may be out of proportion to haemorrhage. When managed promptly and aggressively, uterine inversion can result in minimal maternal morbidity and mortality. Incidence of puerperal uterine inversion greatly varies in literature ranging from 1:2500 to 1:20000. If the condition is promptly recognized before incarceration, manual repositioning of the uterus may be successful. However in neglected uterine inversion, incarceration may occur due to constriction ring formation, necessitating surgical intervention. Here we present a case of neglected subacute uterine inversion managed by Haultain`s repair.
