Uterine rupture is a serious complication, associated with perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. This case report describes uterine rupture in a patient who did not have any previous caesarean section. The patient had acute abdominal pain, hypertonic uterus, blood in the amniotic fluid and abnormal cardiotocographic values. An abruption of the placenta was suspected, and an acute caesarean section was performed during which a rupture in fundus uteri was found. It was later experienced that the patient ten years earlier had suffered a uterine perforation during evacuation after a late abortion.
