SONOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTATION OF UTERINE RETROVERSION MIMICKING UTERINE SACCULATION

Uterine retroversion during the first trimester is quite common. Howev er, as the uterus increases in size, self-correction usually occurs an d the second trimester pregnant uterus becomes an abdominal organ. If anteversion does not occur, pelvic impaction will result. The prevalen ce of late first and early second trimester uterine impaction is appro ximately 1 in 3000 pregnancies. Our case documents sonographically the spontaneous resolution of a markedly retroverted uterus at 26 weeks' gestation.
