Abstract EN
Uterine inversion is a state wherein the endometrial surface is inverted.
Although this condition may be observed in nonpregnant women, it most commonly develops at the time of delivery.
In the present case, a 37-year-old woman without any remarkable history developed acute puerperal uterine inversion after the successful induction of labor.
Following the delivery, she complained twice of severe lower abdominal pain; subsequently, hemorrhage was noted at the site of partial detachment of the placenta.
These findings led to a diagnosis of placenta accreta, and the patient developed a state of shock.
A Bakri postpartum balloon was inserted into the uterine cavity under ultrasonographic guidance and was filled with physiological saline for treatment of this condition.
With this procedure, the uterine inversion was completely reduced and the hemorrhage was stopped.
Moreover, no reinversion was observed in the postoperative period.
These findings suggest that a Bakri postpartum balloon can be used to noninvasively reduce uterine inversion and prevent its recurrence.
