چکیده
BACKGROUND Uterine rupture at the site of a previous cesarean scar is an uncommon but catastrophic complication of pregnancy, which is associated with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. CASE PRESENTATION A 30-year old woman at 24th week of gestation and complaint of pain, contractions and spotting was admitted in Royan Institute in Tehran, Iran. She had a past medical history of an EP and a cesarean section delivery, respectively 4 and 2 years before hospitalization. Herniation of an amniotic membrane into the maternal bladder was found on ultrasound examination. CONCLUSION Risk factors of cesarean scar rupture should be considered in women undergoing subsequent pregnancies as they need extra care. Ultrasonography can be used to evaluate women with previous cesarean section to assess the risks of scar rupture during subsequent pregnancies.

Background: With an aim to reduce the rates of repeat cesarean section in women with a previous scar, prediction of scar rupture or dehiscence is important. If we could predict the risk of rupture by measuring the scar thickness closer to term, we could pursue a trial of scar safely. Aims: To evaluate the use of ultrasound measured thickness of lower uterine segment as one of the predictors of ...

متن کاملEctopic Pregnancy in Cesarean Section Scar
Pregnancy implantation within the scar of a previous cesarean delivery is one of the rarest locations for an ectopic pregnancy. Early diagnosis of this condition with the use of ultrasound imaging allows for preserving the uterus and subsequent fertility. However, a delay in either diagnosis or treatment can lead to uterine rupture, hysterectomy and significant maternal morbidity. With increasi...
