Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Uterine rupture is an uncommon obstetric emergency that usually occurs in third trimester or in labour. The common causes include previous uterine surgery, obstructed labour, trauma. Its occurrence in early pregnancy is extremely rare but life-threatening. Here, we report a case of uterine rupture in a primigravida at 8 weeks of pregnancy. A 42-year-old primigravida with history of adenomyomectomy presented at 8 weeks with vague gastrointestinal complaints. She was diagnosed to have uterine rupture by ultrasound and underwent laparotomy and repair of uterine rent. Timely diagnosis and intervention is the key in such cases.
