Abstract
Rupture of an unscarred uterus is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening event associated with maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Patients lacking common identifiable risk factors can lack appropriate cautions or lead to delayed diagnosis.
Highlights
The incidence of uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus has been estimated to be 1 in 8,000 to 15,000 deliveries [1]
Additional risk factors may exist in patients with a history of uterine rupture of an unscarred uterus than previously have been identified
Possible defects in formation of collagen leading to increased risk of uterine rupture should not be discounted in a patient with a history of a potential collagen vascular disorder
Summary
Additional risk factors may exist in patients with a history of uterine rupture of an unscarred uterus than previously have been identified. Possible defects in formation of collagen leading to increased risk of uterine rupture should not be discounted in a patient with a history of a potential collagen vascular disorder
