Uterine rupture is a rare complication during pregnancy which may even lead to the death of the mother and the fetus. In this report, the management of a herniated amniotic sac associated with uterine dehiscence is presented. A 25-year-old primigravida at 30 weeks with a history of a previous unilateral salpingectomy was transferred to our hospital with the potential diagnosis of a herniated amniotic sac, which was discovered during a routine ultrasound scan. The patient had no prior complaints or any other signs that would have indicated a serious condition during her pregnancy. She underwent an emergency cesarean section and a two-layer closure of the lesion. An adequate suture during laparoscopic salpingectomy provides prevention of uterine rupture during subsequent pregnancies. A medical history with a previous laparoscopic dehiscence should necessitate a more frequent sonographic observation during pregnancy. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(25): 988-992.
