Abstract

A 35-year old woman, gravida 2, para 1, came to our hospital with abdominal pain and a retraction of her abdomen, which appeared during her spontaneous contractions at 40 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy. She had a medical history of caesarean section for Frank breech presentation. This clinical presentation was suggestive for uterine rupture, which was confirmed during caesarean section.
