Abstract

Spontaneous uterine rupture during the second trimester of pregnancy is a rare obstetric emergency. When a patient presents with acute abdominal pain and signs of hemorrhagic shock, a number of differential diagnoses must be considered. Early diagnosis and proper management is necessary to decreased the high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality associated with rupture of uterus. We present a case of spontaneous rupture of the uterus in the 18th week of pregnancy with a brief review of literatures.
