Case study: Recurrent uterine incarceration during pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: Uterine incarceration is a rare complication of pregnancy. The most frequent complications are pain and urinary retention. CASE: We present the case of a patient who had presented a uterine incarceration during her first pregnancy, requiring a reduction under general anesthesia at 27+0 weeks of gestation complicated by premature delivery at 29+0 weeks of gestation. In the subsequent pregnancy, recurrent symptomatology encouraged earlier reduction at 19+5 weeks of gestation under locoregional anesthesia with term delivery. CONCLUSION: Reccurent symptomatology of uterine incarceration during early mid trimester of pregnancy favored earlier diagnosis and successful reduction by digital manoeuver.
