Chronic puerperal uterine inversion is a rare and life-threatening obstetric emergency which requires emergent treatment. We present a case of a 27-year-old Gravida 2 Para 2 (2002) with chronic uterine inversion. A bleeding, 4 x 4 x 5 cm fleshy knob like mass protruding from the cervix, was seen during vaginal inspection. Two-dimensional transvaginal sonography and 3-dimensional imaging clinched the diagnosis of uterine inversion. The patient underwent Haultain’s procedure and was discharged improved with resumption of normal menses. Postpartum transvaginal sonography revealed a normally positioned uterus.
