“…Diagnosis of uterine incarceration remains difficult because of the very aspecific symptoms such as constipation, tenesmus, low abdominal or back pain, dysuria, urgency and urinary retention [1,15]. In retrospect, refractory urinary problems in the late first trimester of the pregnancy of our patient may have been related to the incarceration.…”

Retroverted uterine incarceration with sacculation of the anterior wall is reported to occur approximately in 1/3000 pregnancies. A literature search identified only 1 case report of incarceration of an anteflexed gravid uterus and 6 reported cases of recurrent incarceration and/or sacculation. We present a case of an incarceration of an anteflexed uterus in the first pregnancy, followed by a retroflexed incarceration in the second pregnancy. From this, a review is presented on recurrent uterine incarceration and/or sacculation.

It may be asymptomatic or associated with symptoms of pelvic fullness, discomfort, distention, pelvic pain, and low abdominal and back pain (Smalbraak et al 1991).…”

“…12,15,16 General anaesthesia allows flaccidity and relaxation of both pelvic and abdominal musculoskeletal tissue which would aid in the repositioning. Grossenburg et al 13 who successfully managed a case at 21 weeks concluded that the use of ultrasonography for guidance along with general anaesthesia during manual reduction may aid the release of a late second-trimester incarcerated uterus.…”
