Upside-Down and Inside-Out Signs in Uterine Inversion.
Uterine inversion is a rare condition that is accompanied by massive hemorrhaging and shock, resulting in a maternal emergency. The diagnosis of uterine inversion is often difficult due to massive postpartum hemorrhaging. Ultrasonography is useful for the diagnosis in such conditions, but we do not often encounter typical ultrasonographic images in uterine inversion because it occurs rarely. In the present case report of uterine inversion, we demonstrate the typical ultrasonographic findings of uterine inversion.
