Chronic Non-Puerperal Uterine Inversion (CNPUI): a Rare Case Report

Dr. Reetam Singh, Dr. Ashok Anand

Abstract :

 

CNPUI is an extremely rare clinical situation. Most of surgical methods for treating CNPUI involve re-inverting the uterus before either repairing the incision made or proceeding to hysterectomy. Vaginal hysterectomy for CNPUI without re-inverting the uterus poses unique challenges to the surgeon. A 55 year old woman presented with complaints of a mass protruding from vagina, and menorrhagia. On examination, an irreducible mass was felt protruding through the introitus. Fious ring was present at the introitus. This ring was incised posteriorly, and tubes and ovaries were found to be in the cup. Inversion was corrected and vaginal hysterectomy was done.

CNPUI is a diagnostic challenge in gynecology. Leiomyoma is known to cause uterine inversion in 78-85% of the cases. Repositing the uterus may not be possible in all cases, leaving vaginal hysterectomy as the only option.
