Background: Incarceration is a rare complication of uterine prolapse and is usually associated with bladder calculi. We report a case of uterine incarceration associated with an abscess in the cul-de-sac. Case: A 64-year-old woman presented with complaints of vaginal prolapse. Pelvic examination on admission revealed an edematous, prolapsed uterus and eversion of the vagina. The bladder was catheterized, and subsequent attempts to reduce the prolapse were unsuccessful. Conservative treatments were initiated including Trendelenburg positioning, estrogen cream, and moist soaks. Failure to reduce the prolapse under general anesthesia necessitated a vaginal hysterectomy and anteroposterior repair.
