Uterine incarceration is a rare complication of pregnancy in which a retroverted uterus becomes entrapped in the pelvis. This case report describes the clinical presentation and management of a woman with a suspected uterine incarceration in the late first trimester. This article reviews the diagnosis of uterine incarceration, including differential diagnoses, signs and symptoms, and the role of imaging. Management is based on the gestational age at the time of diagnosis. Management options are described along with a discussion of the available evidence.

“…Attempts at correction of incarceration have been performed either manually, via laparotomy, or through colonoscopic release in the early second trimester of pregnancy [ 12 ]. Asymptomatic incarceration of the uterus has been reported until term [ 13 ]. High level of suspicion of incarceration of the uterus is very important to avoid major complications during the antepartum and the intrapartum stages [ 13 ].…”

Introduction Incarcerated uterus is a rare complication of pregnancy, usually associated with retroversion. Case A 26-year-old woman presents at 19 4/7 weeks for evaluation of a short cervix and placenta previa. On ultrasound scan, the placenta was considered previa and the cervix was not visualized. The cervix was not identified by pelvic examination and the presumptive diagnosis of short cervix was done. The patient was followed up closely and remained asymptomatic. Retrospective analysis of the ultrasound images showed a retroverted uterus with an elongated cervix compressed towards the anterior vaginal wall. At 26 weeks of gestation, ultrasound showed a cervical length of 41 mm and a fundal placenta and the diagnosis of spontaneous correction of an incarcerated uterus was made. The patient had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery at 39 3/7 weeks. Comment Identification and close follow-up of incarcerated uterus may potentially help in avoiding serious obstetrical and surgical complications.
