Abstract
Spontaneous uterine rupture in primigravidae in a term pregnancy is a rare occurrence but is increasing in frequency in high income countries due to a concomitant rise in rates of gynaecological uterine surgery. We present a case from a low-middle income country of spontaneous uterine rupture at term with no known markers of such an adverse event .The spontaneous uterine rupture may have been due to the ingestion of traditional medicines. Health professionals and the community at large must be alerted to the possible dangers of the use of such medications in pregnancy.
