Abstract

A spontaneous uterus rupture occurred during the labour of a 37-week-pregnant woman showing a precocious rupture of membranes. It appeared enlarged and the cut surface of the myometrium showed coarse trabeculations. The histological examination showed a hypertrophic gravidic myometrium with heterogeneous areas of fibrosis and adenomyosis, necrotic decidual foci and hyperplastic cervical canal glands. Our experience suggests that a silent and spontaneous uterine rupture, is possible even in the absence of the principal risk factors.
