    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Spontaneous vaginal delivery is the most common mode of childbirth.
    • Severe perineal trauma, including obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS), can occur.
    • Urethral injuries are rare but serious complications of childbirth.

    Observation:

    • A 21-year-old primipara experienced a spontaneous vaginal delivery.
    • The delivery resulted in a severe vaginal laceration.
    • A total aporrhexis (complete disruption) of the urethra was observed.

    Findings:

    • This case documents a rare combination of severe vaginal trauma and complete urethral avulsion.
    • The injury occurred during an otherwise spontaneous vaginal birth.
    • The patient was a young primiparous woman, suggesting potential risk factors or unique anatomical considerations.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of meticulous intrapartum monitoring for signs of severe perineal trauma.
    • Suggests the need for prompt diagnosis and surgical management of urethral disruptions.
    • Emphasizes the potential for severe obstetric injuries and the need for comprehensive obstetric care and training.
