ABSTRACT

Uterine inversion is a rare and severe clinical entity described related to obstetric emergency in labor third stage complications, which needs immediate treatment, usually surgery. This article aims to show the scientific community some elements related to this, since it is likely that due to its low incidence, current generations of obstetricians do not assist patients with this complication, apart from the absence of national reports related to this entity. A patient came to the hospital 2 months after delivery, A chronic puerperal uterine inversion grade II was diagnosed. Total hysterectomy was necessary to perform as definitive treatment, achieving to retain both ovaries. The atypical presentation in this patient clinical condition and the ability to display graphic evidence of its clinical presentation and surgical treatment led to the presentation of this paper.
