Importance Uterine rupture is defined as a nonsurgical disruption of all layers of the uterus. Most ruptures occur in the presence of a scar, usually secondary to a previous cesarean delivery. Rupture of an unscarred uterus is rare and is associated with severe maternal and neonatal outcomes. Objective To outline the literature on potential predisposing factors, clinical findings, and maternal and fetal outcomes of a rupture of an unscarred uterus. Evidence Acquisition PubMed was searched for the phrases “uterine rupture,” “unscarred,” and “spontaneous.” Individual case reports, retrospective case series, and review articles in English between 1983 and 2020 were included. Results We found 84 case reports in 79 articles. The mean maternal age was 29.3 (SD, 5.7) years; 38 women (45.2%) were nulliparous. Uterine rupture occurred in 37% of the women at term; in 9.9%, the gestational age was ≤12 weeks. The most common clinical presentations were abdominal pain (77.4%), signs of hypovolemic shock (36.9%), fetal distress (31%), and vaginal bleeding (22.6%). The most common risk factors were the use of uterotonic drugs for induction or augmentation of labor and a prior curettage procedure. The most frequently ruptured site was the body of the uterus. Hysterectomy managed 36.9% of the ruptures. Four women died (4.8%). Perinatal mortality was 50.6%. Perinatal death was higher in developing than developed countries. Conclusions and relevance Although rare, spontaneous rupture of the unscarred uterus has serious consequences to the mother and the fetus and should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in pregnancy. Target Audience Obstetrician-gynecologists, family medicine physicians. Learning Objectives After completing this activity, the learner will be better able to describe the consequences of spontaneous rupture of the unscarred uterus to the mother and fetus; discuss risk factors for spontaneous rupture of the unscarred uterus and its potential occurrence in nulliparous, antepartum, and the first trimester; and discuss how timely assessment of a pregnant woman presenting with abdominal pain impacts survival of the mother and child.

“…2 The incidence of ruptured uterus is 0.3 to 1.7% in women with scarred uterus, and 0.03 to 0.08% among women with unscarred uterus. 3 A study from the US reported rupture of the unscarred uterus in 4.54 per 100,000 deliveries, or about 1 in 22,000 deliveries. 4 The incidence of rupture in both scarred and unscarred uteri has increased in recent decades.…”

A spontaneous rupture of the unscarred uterus in a primigravid patient is extremely rare and is associated with high perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Study report a case of spontaneous rupture of an unscarred uterus at 36 weeks of gestation in a 22-years primigravid woman. Ultrasonography showed posterior low-lying placenta praevia with lower margin touching internal OS. Operative findings during emergent caesarean section revealed e/o 2 L of hemoperitoneum, uterus was bicornuate and pregnancy was in the right horn. There was fundal rupture of right horn measuring approximately 6-7 cm anteroposterior. Incision was taken on the lower part of right horn and placenta was seen on anterior wall. Baby delivered as breech after incising placenta. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. In, conclusion, bicornuate uterus may be an independent risk factor for uterine rupture, which can occur in primigravid patients and at any gestation.
