Spontaneous asymptomatic uterine scar dehiscence at 20 weeks of gestation as a result of endomyometritis
Abstract
Spontaneous uterine rupture during second trimester is a rarity in obstetrics. Rupture of the pregnant uterus is considered spontaneous if the rupture occurs without contractile activity of the myometrium. An unusual case of asymptomatic spontaneous uterine scar dehiscence in second trimester with previous three lower uterine segment caesarean sections following endomyometritis is presented here.
