Popis: In de past 50 years, maternal mortality rates have declined, in contrast, the number of deaths due to injury during pregnancy is on the rise. The authors report a case of 24° week pregnant woman victim of penetrating abdominal trauma by gunshot who sustained a grade I11 transfixing injury of the uterine fundus. Treatment was conservative regarding the fetus. Hysteroraphia of the injuries was executed with closure of both penetrating orifices. Obstetrical-gynecological evaluation and echogram documented letal viability in the post-operative period. Post-operative follow-up was performed with periodical echograms up to delivery on the ninth month. Clinical findings, treatment and follow-up will be discussed.
