In which of the following conditions Bandl’s ring is seen?
Correct Answer: Obstructed labour
Description: Localized rings or constrictions of the uterus develop in association with prolonged obstructed labors. The pathological retraction ring of Bandl is associated with marked stretching and thinning of the lower uterine segment. The ring may be seen clearly as a uterine indentation and signifies impending rupture of the lower uterine segment. Ref: Cunningham F.G., Leveno K.J., Bloom S.L., Hauth J.C., Rouse D.J., Spong C.Y.
