| Popis: | Uterine rupture can be associated with severe maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. It should be considered as a differential diagnosis in all pregnant women who present with acute abdomen, haemoperitoneum and have specific risk factors, even during the first trimester. This is a case report of a 25-year-old woman who presented to emergency department with abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding at approximately 6–8 weeks gestation. She developed an acute surgical abdomen and required urgent surgical management. Despite intervention, she had massive haemorrhage, disseminate intravascular coagulation, admission to intensive care unit and prolonged hospital stay as complications. Posterior uterine wall rupture while rare, must be considered as a differential diagnosis as early intervention is crucial to prevent bad outcomes. |
