Prelabour Uterine Rupture In Two Patients With A Previous Caesarean Section For Placenta Previa

Abstract

Background Spontaneous uterine rupture is a severe pregnancy complication. Several risk factors have been described, especially for women with a previous caesarean section.Method We reported two cases of uterine rupture (UR) occurred outside of labour in patients with a history of caesarean section for placenta previa were reports. Results The current study evaluates how a higher hysterotomy, combined with some risk factors, can increase the prevalence of UR in the next pregnancy. Conclusion These cases presentation provide a supplement to over-all knowledge about UR showing that a careful evaluation of risk factors could promote the early UR management and consequently, improve the maternal-fetal outcome.
