    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Reproductive Health

    Background:

    • Uterine rupture is a rare but life-threatening complication during midtrimester abortion.
    • Risk factors include advanced maternal age, multiparity, and high-dose oxytocic agents.

    Observation:

    • Clinical presentation varies widely, from subtle hematocrit drops to profound shock and maternal death.
    • Diagnosis and treatment are often significantly delayed.

    Findings:

    • This case report details a patient experiencing uterine rupture during midtrimester abortion.
    • The etiology, clinical presentation, and management strategies are discussed.

    Implications:

    • Close monitoring of older, multiparous patients receiving oxytocics is recommended to prevent uterine hyperstimulation.
    • Prompt laparotomy is crucial for timely diagnosis and management of uterine rupture.
