[Uterine inversion: a cause of obstetric hemorrhage not to be missed. Discussion].

Severe obstetric bleeding is the primary cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. While classical causes such as uterine inertia or retained placenta are well known, inversion of the uterus is a rare cause which should not be missed. Only very rapid diagnosis and management can avoid serious and irreversible consequences. A case of inversion of the uterus is reported. The circumstances of onset and treatment possibilities are also discussed.
