Laparoscopic Management of Nonpuerperal Uterine Inversion.

Uterine inversions are a rare entity, and most occur in the postpartum period. Nonpuerperal inversion accounts for only 16% of cases and are mostly associated with a submucous myoma. A 38-year-old woman with a submucous myoma presented with severe lower abdominal pain, acute retention of urine, and hypotension. Because the clinical examination was inconclusive due to severe pain and the ultrasound was dubious, diagnosis was made with magnetic resonance imaging. Successful laparoscopic hysterectomy was contemplated after correcting uterine inversion. This case highlights the diagnostic dilemmas and the key points during laparoscopic management of uterine inversion.
