Popis:	Uterine rupture is a potentially catastrophic event during childbirth by which the integrity of the myometrial wall is breached (1) . It can occur in an unscarred uterus or a uterus with a surgical scar. The incidence of uterine rupture in patients with history of a single caesarean section ranges from 0.2% to 1.5% which increases to 3.9% with two or more previous caesareans (2). Here is a case of a 38 year old Mrs. X G2A1 at 28 weeks of gestation with history of dilatation and curettage in the past. Now admitted for correction of anaemia and later diagnosed to have posterior wall uterine rupture. The incidence of uterine rupture has been increasing due to increasing rate of caesarean sections. WHO data indicated that 75% of uterine ruptures still occurred in unscarred uteri with maternal mortality rate of 1-13% and perinatal mortality rate between 74% and 92% (4) .
