A rare case of obstructed labor due to sever uterine prolapse; a case report and literature review.

INTRODUCTION

Uterine prolapse in pregnancy is a rare problem reported in literature and might increase problems such as emergency cesarean section, preterm delivery, and other materno-fetal complications. Prolapse becomes a life-threatening condition for both mother and baby when it creates a labor abstraction.

PRESENTATION OF CASE: Here, a 37 years old lady (BMI = 26, gestational age = 37 weeks), without any obvious risk factors, with sever uterine prolapse (stage IV) and obstructed labor was presented. Congested and incarcerated cervix along with the onset of uterine contractions led to emergency cesarean section, by incision made in fundal part of uterus, because the lower segment was not accessible or visible at all. Apical and lateral vaginal defect in the patient was corrected at cesarean section time.

CONCLUSION

As a result: with timely action for cesarean delivery, maternal-fetal complications were reduced, however the correction of apical uterovaginal defects during cesarean time is possible and improves the quality of life of women in the reproductive age.
