Abstract
The reported maternal mortality of approximately one of every eight women who have puerperal inversion of the uterus is excessively high, perhaps due to failure of or delay in diagnosis. Early recognition of inversion may be aided by routine post-delivery inspection of the cervix. Treatment of shock is the primary concern in proper management of this condition; once it is controlled, prompt manual reposition of the uterus yields the best results.
Two case of acute and one of chronic puerperal uterine inversion are reported.
