-
Displacement of the uterus, in which the fundus is turned towards the pubes, whilst its orifice is towards the sacrum. It may be caused by extraordinary size of the pelvis, pressure of the Viscera on the uterus, etc.; and is recognised by examination per vaginam. A simple forward inclination of the body of the uterus, without the os uteri being carried much backwards, is termed Anteflex'ion of the u'terus, Anteflex'io u'teri. Not unfrequently, however, it is used synonymously with Retroversion of the Uterus. See Retroversio uteri.
