ABSTRACT: Uterine incarceration is a rare disease of abnormal uterine morphology, the proportion during pregnancy was 1 in 3000 - 10,000. Previously reported patients with uterine incarceration have different symptoms. Rarely, asymptomatic cases persist into the third trimester of pregnancy. In fact, the patients with uterine incarceration can be asymptomatic and normally carry their fetuses to the term because it mainly changes the cervix, which does not affect fetal growth in utero directly. Additionally, cesarean section is both a treatment and a direct method to clarify the diagnosis again, and low-molecular-heparin anticoagulant therapy should be considered immediately after surgery. Here, we present two cases clarifying that patients with uterine incarceration can be pregnant without any discomfort during pregnancy and provide a successful treatment plan.
