  • Title: Spontaneous uterine rupture as an unusual cause of abdominal pain in the early second trimester of pregnancy.
    Author: Hlibczuk V.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 2004 Aug; 27(2):143-5. PubMed ID: 15261356.
    Abstract:
    A case of placenta percreta causing spontaneous uterine rupture is presented. This is a rare condition, which may present in the antepartum period as abdominal pain, with or without signs of hemorrhagic shock. This entity can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if not aggressively managed. A discussion follows on the pathophysiology, incidence, risk factors, presentation and management of this condition.
