Abstract
Annular detachment of the cervix is the total circular separation of the anterior or posterior lip of the uterine cervix during or immediately following delivery. Sometimes both lips are separated causing complete amputation of the cervix. A case of annular detachment of the cervix is de-scribed here.
Key words: Annular detachment, labour, cervix.

Introduction
Obstetrics is a field of unpredictably predictable situations. Cervical annular detachment is not only a rare complication of pregnancy but also very rarely reported. It is mostly common in primigravi-das but multigravidas also suffer from it.1-3 Factors mostly responsible are true cervical dystocia, bearing down on an undilated cervix and labour ignored for a long time. Most cases reported are about anterior and posterior lip of cervix detached, we describe a case of annular (complete) detach-ment.
