Abstract:
Uterine rupture is a rare obstetric emergency, and the diagnosis of rupture is not always obvious. High surgical delivery rate today which tends to increase the incidence of the disaster urged us to present this report. Two cases of spontaneous rupture of uterus are described. Case 1 concerns spontaneous rupture of a previously intact uterus; case 2 is a rupture due to placenta percreta. A review relevant to its incidence, risk factors, clinical characteristics, and anesthetic managements is given.
