Resumen
DUNKEL, Rita et al. Uterine rupture: an unpredictable case of unscared uterus. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.3, pp.296-298. Epub 30-Sep-2022. ISSN 1646-5830.
Uterine rupture in pregnancy is a rare but serious condition. It commonly occurs in uterus with a previous scar, but in rare cases in can happen in unscared uterus. The authors report a case of a pregnant women, with a prior vaginal delivery and no history of uterine surgery, that develops a hypovolemic shock after birth. After a abdominal ultrasound showing a massive hemoperitoneum, an exploratory laparotomy was performed and an uterine rupture detected. The defect was corrected and hysterectomy was not necessary. This article aims to draw attention to this condition because early diagnosis can save mother’s life.
