Sonographic Diagnosis of Infected Chronic Uterine Inversion at 12 Weeks Postpartum

Puerperal uterine inversion is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening obstetric emergency. We report a case of an infected chronic uterine inversion which presented 12 weeks after the vaginal delivery. The diagnosis was made on ultrasound and resulted in timely therapeutic intervention. The greyscale and Doppler findings are discussed.
