Abstract:
Uterine inversion is a rare but a potentially fatal complication of labor, and may occur in the third stage of labor. Because it can lead to shock and hemorrhage, immediate management should be attempted to replace the inverted uterus. We report a case in which uterine inversion was not replaced by manual manipulation, but which was successfully replaced by the induction of general anesthesia.
