[A uterine cleft with a digestive intra-uterine adhesion detected during a cesarean section at term]

Abstract

A gap in the wall of the uterus that was discovered by chance during a Caesarean operation carried out at term for a twin pregnancy is reported. This gap was accompanied by adhesion of the digestive tract within the uterus. After the adhesions had been cut away the gap was sutured. The reason for this pathological condition was suction evacuation at termination of pregnancy. We could find no reference in the literature to the combination of such a gap with a pregnancy that continued normally.
