title: Infarction of the uterus from subacute incomplete inversion.
abstract: A patient with subacute incomplete uterine inversion was transferred to our hospital when the diagnosis was made 5 days after vaginal delivery. Intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein dye identified a clear demarcation between viable and necrotic myometrium. The superior aspect of the uterus was infarcted; therefore a hysterectomy was performed.
