임신 중 자궁탈출은 매우 드물다. 그러나 어떤 경우에 있어서는 임신 중 비뇨기 계통의 염증, 배뇨곤란, 유산, 조기진통 등과 같은 심각한 합병증을 유발할 수 있다. 치료는 절대안정, 페사리 삽입과 같은 보존적 요법으로 이루어져 있다. 분만은 대개 제왕절개분만을 하게 되며 분만 후 대부분 자연 회복이 된다. 저자들은 최근 임신 12주에 자궁탈출이 발생한 기왕제왕절개 분만의 기왕력이 있는 임산부에서 페사리와 절대안정요법으로 임신 38주에 반복제왕절개로 건강한 태아를 분만 후 자연 치유된 임신 중 자궁탈출 1예를 경험하였기에 간단한 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.


Uterine prolapse is extremely rare during pregnancy. However in some cases significant complications such as urinary tract infection, voiding difficulty, abortion, and preterm labor may develop. Conservative management consisted of bed rest and use of a pessary. An elective cesarean section near term is the safest mode of delivery in cases where the cervix is edematous and elongated. We present a case of a patient developing uterine prolapse at 12 weeks of gestation, treated with bed rest and use of a pessary. A repeat cesarean section was performed at 38 weeks of gestation and report with a brief review of literatures.
