“…Most existing literature describes uterine sacculation diagnosed antenatally in the setting of a retroverted, incarcerated uterus in the second or early third trimester 2,8,9 or based on grossly abnormal prenatal ultrasound findings. 1,10 In contrast, the two cases above report uterine sacculations diagnosed and managed immediately postpartum. These cases highlight the need to understand best practices for management of postpartum uterine sacculation.…”

BACKGROUND: Uterine sacculation refers to a temporary pouch or sac within the uterus that may contain the placenta or fetal parts and that may be diagnosed antepartum or after delivery. There is very limited published information about this rare condition and its management. CASES: We report two cases of uterine sacculation with entrapped placenta diagnosed immediately postpartum, managed with two different approaches. In one case, the patient underwent immediate laparotomy and placental extraction. In the second case, the patient was managed conservatively but ultimately developed signs of infection and underwent laparotomy. CONCLUSION: Uterine sacculation with entrapped placenta is a rare condition that is a potential etiology of retained placenta. Obstetric clinicians should be aware of this diagnosis and the management strategies available.

“…Antenatal diagnosis by USG and colour doppler is possible by observing a change in location of the placenta. 5 Dietz et al and Nicholson et al have suggested the accuracy of diagnosing torsion by X sign on MRI. The vagina is normally seen as an H-shaped structure on MRI.…”
