ABSTRACT
The puerperal uterine inversion is a rare and severe complication occurring in the third stage of labour. The mechanisms are not completely known. However; extrinsic factors such as oxytocic arrests after a prolonged labour; umbilical cord traction or abdominal expression are pointed. Other intrinsic factors such as primiparity; uterine hypotonia; various placental localizations; fundic myoma or short umbilical cord were also reported. The diagnosis of the uterine inversion is mainly supported by clinical symptoms. It is based on three elements haemorrhage; shock and a strong pelvic pain. The immediate treatment of the uterine inversion is required. It is based on a medical reanimation associated with firstly a manual reduction then surgical treatment using various techniques. We report an observation of a 25 years old grand multiparous patient with a subacute uterine inversion after delivery at home
