Postmenopausal uterine inversion treated by subtotal hysterectomy

Uterine inversion is extremely rare as a gynaecological complication with the majority of cases being reported as puerperal in the reproductive age group after a vaginal delivery. Non-puerperal cases are difficult to diagnose and most cases are diagnosed at surgery. Most of these reported cases are associated with uterine pathology, such as uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, sarcomas or endometrial carcinomas. We report a case associated with multiple uterine pathology.
