Abstract
Uterine incarceration is a rare entity that occurs most frequently in the second trimester. It affects pregnant women, usually with retroverted uterus. The enlarged uterus due to pregnancy induces uterine entrapment in the pelvis between the sacral promontory and pubic symphysis. The most common symptoms are pain and progressive difficulty in voiding. The diagnosis of incarcerated uterus is based on physical and ultrasound examination. The usual treatment is based on manual reduction, which is usually successful.
