Not illustrated. 1880 Excerpt: ...the question. The affection always causes hemorrhage, which lasts for several weeks after childbirth, and proves fatal by the consequent exhaustion." Since the days of Astruc, the theory has been at various times maintained that active contraction of the uterus sometimes produces inversion. "Sometimes," says Astruc, "it is produced from contraction of the womb, which forces the bottom inside out, through the mouth of the womb, which is not yet closed." Regular uterine contraction, however violent it may be, would only tend to complete closure of the uterine cavity. If, however, such a partial inversion or internal projection as that alluded to by Rokitansky, in the quotation recently made, occur, it acts as the placenta. the hand of the obstetrician, or any other body in the cavity, by exciting expulsive efforts which may succeed in driving it out of the os externum. Should they do so, complete inversion is the result; should they fail, the projection may persist as a partial inversion. This view, which was advocated by the late Dr. Tyler Smith, appears to me to explain the apparent paradox of inversion with tonic contractions of the uterus more satisfactorily than any other which has been advanced. I have met with one case occurring after delivery, which convinces me, that sometimes, at least, what I have just described really takes place. Still another and very ingenious theory has been advanced by Prof. I. E. Taylor for explaining the occurrence of inversion. It is that inversion sometimes begins at the cervix, this part undergoing eversion as in prolapsus, and this going on to the complete inversion of the entire organ. In previous literature, allusions to the possibility of inversion after this method may be found. Klob alludes...
