Summary 1. A case is presented illustrating the occurrence of uterine rupture of a severe degree without the dramatic symptoms usually associated with this condition. 2. Attention is drawn to the importance of strict observation ot patientsin the “fourth stage of labor” as regards nonresponding blood prcssnre ill the shock levels, with or without excessive vaginal bleeding. 3. The severe degree of the uterine laceration with the minimal symptoms leads one to postulate that many cases of less severe rupture must go unrecognized and be precursors of later, more severe, rupture. |
