Abstract

Incarceration of a retroverted uterus is a rare, but harmful obstetric complication increasing foetal mortality and maternal morbidity if untreated. In this case report, a pregnant woman at 16+3 presented with urine retention. Assessment showed an incarcerated uterus due to retroversion. To facilitate mobilisation of the uterus, she performed the yoga position Downward facing dog and had a permanent catheter inserted for 48 hours. The procedure was successful. This case report addresses the diagnosis, management, and risk of an incarcerated retroverted uterus in pregnancy. We aim to raise awareness, facilitate early diagnosis, and promote the conservative treatment.
