Abstract

Abstract
Non-puerperal uterine inversion is a rare but distressing condition to both the patient and the gynaecologist. Perhaps because it is rare, it is fraught with misdiagnosis until in the theatre when the patient had been planned for hysterectomy for uterovaginal prolapse or other condition. This paper presents two cases of non-puerperal uterine inversion in a multipara and nullipara respectively. Both presented with irregular vaginal bleeding in a background of infertility. The predisposing factor in both cases was submucous fibroid. The first patient was treated with vaginal hysterectomy while the other had laparotomy and Hautian’s procedure to preserve the uterus. Their postoperative conditions were uneventful.
Keywords: uterine inversion, non-puerperal, Hautian’s procedure.
