Second trimester uterine rupture — An unusual case

Abstract

Rupture of a pregnant uterus is a serious threat to the life of mother and foetus. Most of these cases have predisposing factors like placenta percreta and scarred uterus. Rupture of a scarred uterus usually occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy or during labour. We present a case of mid trimester spontaneous rupture in a patient who had undergone medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) and laparoscopic sterilisation one year ago.
