We report a case of uterine rupture, in a 31-year-old patient with scarred uterus
at 36 weeks of gestation. This patient has a case history of deep pelvic endometriosis
recently diagnosed on MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and untreated by surgery. The
previous pregnancy ended with a cesarean Section (c-section) at 30 weeks of gestation
because of fetal heart rate abnormalities. It was an emergency cesarean Section with
transverse low uterine segment incision.
