Chronic non puerperal uterine inversion due to submucosal fibroid: a rare case report
Uterine inversion is a rare clinical condition with only a few cases of chronic non puerperal inversion of uterus quoted in the literature. On an average a gynaecologist may only see one case in their lifetime. Uterine infection is described as a part of the uterus indenting towards and eventually prolapsing through the dilated cervix resulting in uterus being turned inside out. It is categorized as puerperal and non puerperal complication Acute puerperal uterine inversion occurs within 24 hours of birth, sub acute inversion occurs after 24 hours and within 4 weeks, chronic occurs after 4 weeks. Surgery for inverted uterus is technically difficult and poses a great challenge for the surgeon. Authors are reporting a case of chronic non puerperal uterine inversion due to benign submucous fundal uterine fibroid in 50 year old multiparous women who had correction of anaemia followed by vaginal hysterectomy.
