Complete inversion of uterus after delivery of the baby is always the consequence of strong traction on umbilical cord attached to the placenta implanted in the fundus. With AMTSL the incidence is decreasing. In this article we discuss about a 21 yrs primi who was referred as uterine inversion to our tertiary care centre in a state of shock. The prompt resuscitative measures with hysterectomy done at appropriate time saved the patient’s life.
