ABSTRACT
Background: Uterine rupture is an unpredictable and infrequent obstetric emergency
which is associated to a high maternal and perinatal morbi-mortality. The most
important risk factor is prior uterine surgery.
Objective: To report a complete vesicouterine rupture case occurred after a vaginal
delivery without prior uterine surgery. It is intended to review the risk factors, the
suspicious signs and symptoms, as well as the optimal management and maternal and
perinatal prognosis of uterine rupture in unscarred uterus.
Clinic case: A 35-year-old woman, para 2 with neither uterine surgical procedures
nor other medical records, had a normoevolutive pregnancy and required
induction of labour with a dinoprostone vaginal slow-release system (10 mg) due to
late-term pregnancy at 41+5 weeks. The labor progressed normally, ending in a vaginal
delivery. After 1h postpartum, the patient started with a progressive abdominal pain
and haematuria. The computerized tomography scan showed a severe hemoperitoneum
and suggested the presence of a vesical continuity solution with disfiguration
of the anterior and both lateral sides of the cervix, findings that were confirmed
intraoperatively. Because of the severity of damages, a subtotal hysterectomy and a
vesical reparation was performed.
Conclusions: Uterine rupture without prior uterine surgery seems to associate a
higher maternal and perinatal morbi-mortality regarding cases occurred in scarred
uterus. Diagnostic suspicion, even in the absence of risk factors, and early diagnosis
and management are crucial to decrease it.
