Abstract

The correct diagnosis and management of patients with uterine inversion will always remain as a challenge to any obstetrician. Two cases of puerperal uterine inversion managed differently are presented. In the first patient, there was delay in the diagnosis of uterine inversion and patient had to undergo hysterectomy. In contrast, there was early recognition of uterine inversion in the second patient prompting immediate manual repositioning.
