US and MRI contribution in non-puerperal uterine inversion: A case report

Abstract

Uterine inversion is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication. It is mainly of two types: puerperal and non-puerperal with further subdivision into complete and incomplete. Earlier diagnosis was crucial in order to avoid irreversible damage to the reproductive organs and adjacent structures. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman where the imaging diagnosis of her chronic pelvic pain fortuitously revealed a non-puerperal uterine inversion. This rare case emphasized the importance of a better understanding of the pelvic anatomy by radiologist in order to facilitate the comprehension of such pathologies with lost clear anatomy in imaging.
