Abstract
|
|
|
|
Uterine rupture is an obstetrical emergency. With a 5% maternal mortality rate and a 61% perinatal mortality rate, prompt and effective management is necessary to save lives. Therefore, obstetricians need to be ever watchful for the sign and symptoms of uterine rupture to manage the emergent situration. The major risk factor for uterine rupture is uterine surgery, especially previous cesarean delivery. Other risk factors contributing to uterine rupture are multiparity, oxytocin stimulation, fetopelvic disproportion and malpresentation. We experienced uterine rupture at the 3rd trimester in woman with a history of interstitial pregnancy, and report this case with a brief review of literature.
