Recurrent Uterine Incarceration in Pregnancy.

This case report describes a 31-year-old woman with recurrent uterine incarceration during pregnancy, complicated by a congenital uterine anomaly that mimicked a septate uterus on imaging. The patient underwent cesarean delivery at 37 weeks due to extreme retroflexion and placental complications, with the uterus spontaneously returning to its normal position postpartum despite persistent anatomical folding. The authors review literature to suggest that manual reduction is often unnecessary for asymptomatic patients and that management should be tailored to specific risk factors like adhesions or structural abnormalities. This paper lists endometriosis as one of several potential risk factors associated with uterine incarceration, though the study's primary focus remains on obstetric management of uterine anomalies rather than endometriosis pathology itself.
