Abstract:
We report a case of unrecognized uterine inversion was restored spontaneously without surgical intervention. Initially, the case was diagnosed as uterine atony and not uterine inversion and was managed successfully with uterine artery embolization. However, a partial uterine inversion was detected on a subsequent scheduled pelvic examination. Fortunately, her uterus was completely restored without any surgical intervention on eighth week after delivery.
