Abstract:
Spontaneous uterine rupture during pregnancy is a very uncommon but catastrophic event resulting in even maternal and newborn mortality. Clinicians should make a prompt diagnosis and management in patients presenting with acute abdominal pain, hypovolemic shock and fetal compromise. We present a case of spontaneous uterine rupture during second trimester.
