Non-puerperal uterine inversion due to a fundally located submucous myoma - A case report

Abstract

Background: This is a report of a 45-year old multiparous woman that presented with severe anaemia following a 6-month history of heavy, painful menses, intermenstrual bleeding and mass protruding per vaginam. She was managed as a case of complete non-puerperal chronic uterine inversion. She had blood transfusion and was taken to the theatre where she subsequently had reduction of the inverted uterus and total abdominal hysterectomy. She made good recovery and was discharged in good condition. Aim: To highlight a rare condition of chronic non-puerperal uterine inversion following the extrusion of a benign fundally-located submucous uterine myoma. Method: A Case report. Results: There was reduction of the inverted uterus and total abdominal hysterectomy was performed. Conclusion: Chronic non-puerperal uterine inversion may present with life-threatening haemorrhage. It requires prompt stabilization of the patient and subsequent reduction of the inversion.
