ACUTE INVERSION OF UTERUS – A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 8
Abstract
Acute inversion of uterus is a rare but life-threatening complication of the third stage of the labour. The incidence varies widely between 1 in 2000 to 1 in 50,000 deliveries, largely dependent upon the standard of care of third stage of labour. It has been known as early as 2500 B.C as stated in a historical review by Das (1940). This says that there are passages in Ayurvedic literature (2500-600 B.C) which suggests that inversion was known to Hindus. It was Hippocrates (460-370 B.C) who is first credited to have recognized an inverted uterus. 1
