Background: Uterine rupture refers to the complete nonsurgical disruption of all uterine layers. This obstetrics hazard is also associated with short term maternal morbidities such as bladder rupture, foot drop, psychological trauma, anemia and infertility and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The common risk factors include CPD, malpresentation, previous C/S, obstructed labor, retained second ...

Background Uterine rupture is tearing of the uterine wall during pregnancy or delivery. It may extend to partial or whole thickness of the uterine wall. It is usually a case where obstetric care is poor. In extensive damage, death of the baby and sometimes even maternal death are evident. Objective This study assesses associated factors and outcome of uterine rupture at Suhul General Hospital...

BACKGROUND Second trimester pregnancy induction with misoprostol in women with prior caesarean delivery is not well studied. OBJECTIVE To estimate the risk of uterine rupture using misoprostol as an induction agent for pregnancy termination in the second trimester of pregnancy in women with prior caesarean delivery. SEARCH STRATEGY Cases of women with a history of prior caesarean delivery a...

Uterine rupture is an uncommon, but a life-threatening, complication following second trimester medical termination of pregnancy (TOP). The reported cases have been in both the scarred and unscarred uterus (Rajesh et al. 2002, Drey et al. 2006, and Dickinson). A 27-year-old with two previous deliveries, no previous caesarean section, no history of induced abortions, and no gynaecological operat...

We report a case of spontaneous uterine rupture at 17+6 week’s gestation in a nulliparous 32 year old patient with no history of myometrial surgery. She had presented with lower abdominal discomfort, progressing to severe pain with hypotension and tachycardia. An urgent ultrasound pelvis showed a live fetus with fetal tachycardia, free intra-peritoneal fluid with blood clots and myometrial defe...

Background. Intramural pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, difficult to diagnose and generally complicated by uterine rupture. Case. A 38-year-old woman, gravida 5 para 1, was diagnosed with intramural pregnancy by ultrasound and confirmed with MRI. A uterine rupture occurred, which lead to laparotomy and a conservative treatment. Conclusion. Early diagnosis is necessary for conserva...

Background Uterine rupture of an unscarred primigravid uterus is an exceedingly rare event. Cases of spontaneous rupture of an unscarred bicornuate uterus have been reported, but typically occur in the first or second trimester. Case A 28-year-old primigravida at 37 weeks gestation with a known bicornuate uterus and no prior surgery underwent an emergent cesarean section after presenting with...

A statistically significant association with uterine rupture during a trial of labour after caesarean delivery was found in at least two studies for the following variables: inter-delivery interval (higher risk with short interval), birth weight (higher risk if 4000 g or over), induction of labour (higher risk), oxytocin dose (higher risk with higher doses), and previous vaginal delivery (lower...

Spontaneous uterine rupture (SUR), a public health problem in developing countries, is a rare but hazardous obstetric complication with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Cases of rupture are more likely to occur in a scarred uterus, usually after a previous caesarean delivery. Spontaneous unscarred uterus rupture (SUUR) in primigravid women is usually unexpected and extrem...
