A pathologic retraction ring (Bandl's ring) of the uterus is a constriction located at the junction of the thinned lower uterine segment and the thick retracted upper uterine segment that is associated with obstructed labor. The following is the first reported case of recurrent pathologic retraction ring and an attempted vaginal birth after cesarean section following such an abnormality.
