RationaleUterine inversion is a rare medical condition that is categorized as puerperal and nonpuerperal. Repositioning of uterine involution can be done manually or surgically, the latter of which involves abdominal manipulation and disruption of the integrity of the uterine wall, which can lead to complications for the patient in subsequent pregnancies, such as uterine rupture.Patient ConcernsWe report a case of acute puerperal uterine inversion that was manually repositioned transvaginally. An ultrasonogram and reset schematic were also presented. A 23-year-old woman (gravida 1 para 0) was admitted to the hospital with a full-term pregnancy.DiagnosesIn the postpartum period, we found placental adhesions and uterine inversion into the uterine cavity, which was confirmed by bedside ultrasound.Interventions And OutcomesWe administered analgesic, relieving uterine spasms, and antishock therapy along with manual stripping of the placenta and ultrasound-guided uterine repositioning. After successful repositioning the patient vaginal bleeding decreased rapidly and she was discharged 3 days after delivery.LessonsEarly recognition, antishock therapy and prompt repositioning are key in the management of puerperal uterine inversion. We hope that this case will enable clinicians to better visualize the ultrasound imaging of uterine inversion and the process of manual repositioning.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
