Abstract
These two figures show the exteriorization of the uterine cervix. In these cases, the degradation of the quality of life of the patient is evident. It is always associated with disinsertion of the cervix from the pericervical ring including the pubocervical fascia and uterosacral-cardinal ligament complex. It explains why the procidentia (uterus) is usually associated with cystocele. In rare cases, it may be isolated due to partial tears of the fascia or congenital anomalies.
