Intrapartum uterine rupture is a life-threating and rare complication of pregnancy which seldom occurs in the second trimester. Typically, the diagnosis is made using ultrasound; however, magnetic resonance imaging can provide certain advantages in the emergent setting. We present a unique case of a posterior uterine rupture confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging involving the unscarred posterior uterine wall in a 20-year-old gravid female with two previous cesarean-sections.
