Abstract

Background: Bandl’s ring is a pathologic contraction ring of the uterus that is associated with obstructed labor.

During her subsequent pregnancy, what appeared to be a Bandl’s ring was again found during repeat cesarean section after spontaneous labor.

Keywords: Bandl’s ring, pathologic uterine ring, trial of labor after cesarean section
