In non-puerperal cases the size of the inverted uterusis never very large ; cases are not classed as chronic inversion untilfrom four to six weeks have elapsed since delivery, and during this periodinvolution proceeds with approximate regularity. The peritonealsurface of the uterus forms the cavity or cup of the inversion, and thisseldom exceeds 2\ inches in depth. Usually the cup is empty, butsometimes contains the Fallopian tubes and ovaries ; in acute puerperalcases a coil of the intestine may be contained in it, but this is neverfound in chronic cases, for persistence of the condition would clearly 586 GYNECOLOGY result in intestinal obstruction. Not infrequently the cup becomesobliterated by adhesion of the peritoneal surfaces, resulting probablyfrom infection which has gained entrance through the exposed mucoussurface.
