Abstract :
Uterine rupture often occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy or
during labor. Its occurrence in early pregnancy and in the absence
of any predisposing factors is very rare. Untimely diagnosis and a
low index of suspicion could be life-threatening. Here we report
the case of a 29-year-old woman with a history of two previous
cesarean sections. An ultrasound report revealed a dead fetus in
the abdominal cavity at 14 weeks into the abdominal cavity due
to a rupture at the site of the previous cesarean scar. Awareness
of probable diagnosis of uterine rupture in a pregnant woman
with abdominal pain could be important for timely diagnosis
and proper management.
