Abstract
Uterine sacculation is a very rare functional malformation associated with pregnancy in which a part of the uterine wall balloons. It is a transitory pouch or sacculation and resolves once the uterine contents are delivered. The uterine sacculation frequently contains the placenta. If the aperture of the sacculation is small, manual delivery of the placenta is impossible. It explains why many patients with uterine sacculation ends up with having a laparotomy with or without a hysterectomy. We report a case of a trapped placenta in uterine sacculation after normal delivery which is removed by laparotomy.
Key Words: Uterine sacculation, Trapped placenta
