Abstract
|
|
|
|
A pyometra is an accumulation of pus in the endometrial cavity mostly due to obstruction of the cervical canal. It is a rare condition, and usually affects postmenopausal women. Moreover, spontaneous rupture of the uterus is an extremely rare complication of pyometra. We present a case of spontaneous perforation of pyometra, which presented as an acute abdomen in emergency and was misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal tract perforation.
