Abstract
If a pregnancy begins in a retroverted uterus it spontaneously reverts to a n upward position before the 14th week. Only in a few cases does the uterus persist in the retroverted position and it will be wedged in the pelvic ca vity as it grows. We present the third case report in the literature where incarceration of the retroverted gravid uterus occurred twice in the same w oman(1, 2).
