| Popis: | Incarceration of the gravid uterus may pose significant risks to both maternal and fetal health. Anesthetic management for these patients is variable, and the ideal anesthetic technique is unknown. The patient presented to the labor and delivery unit with pelvic pain and urinary retention in the setting of a gravid incarcerated uterus. Previous attempts at manual reduction in the outpatient setting were unsuccessful. A combined spinal-epidural anesthetic was administered, followed by spontaneous resolution of the incarcerated uterus. In addition to providing analgesia, neuraxial blockade may occasionally be an adequate therapeutic technique for reduction of a gravid incarcerated uterus. |
