Non-puerperal total uterine inversion: An unusual gynecological case managed with vaginal hysterectomy
Abstract
Uterine inversion during puerperium is an
obstetric emergency, and it is an even rarer complication posing a diagnostic
challenge in gynaecology. Non puerperal uterine inversion is mostly associated
with benign uterine pathology such as leimyomas. Treatment depends on the
associated pathology and stage of inversion. A rare case of acute non-puerperal
total uterine inversion caused by multiple fundal leiomyomas in a 47-year-old
woman resulting in profuse vaginal bleeding is reported; it was successfully treated
by vaginal hysterectomy. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the
patient was discharged in good condition. Acute complete uterine inversion is
rare in non-pregnant women, and there are only a few reported cases worldwide.
It therefore poses a diagnostic dilemma to the unsuspecting gynaecologist, and
therefore a high index of suspicion is needed to differentiate it from
uterovaginal prolapse or a prolapsed fibroid, as the clinical presentations can
be similar.
