Abstract

A uterine inversion occurs when the uterine fundus collapses into the endometrial cavity. It is a rare complication in obstetrics following delivery, and it is even more infrequently encountered in gynecology with the non-puerperal uterus. A submucous fibroid is the most common reported cause of the non-puerperal uterine inversion. If not promptly recognized and treated, uterine inversion may lead to a severe hemorrhagic shock and death. We describe a novel three-dimensional power Doppler feature for the diagnosis of uterine inversion.
