    Abstract:
    Uterine rupture is one of the most serious complications of pregnancy, causing maternal and perinatal death. An increased risk of uterine rupture is associated with uterine scars caused by previous cesarean section, myomectomy, hysteroscopic procedures and ART treatment. We report a case of 35-year-old nulliparous woman with a twin pregnancy who experienced a spontaneous uterine rupture at 30 weeks' gestation. She had a previous history of one opened myomectomy, two laporoscopic procedures for extrauterine pregnancy and myomectomy in the left uterine corn. Her pregnancy was established with in vitro fertilization 14 months after the laparoscopic myomectomy. The uterine rupture was heralded by a sudden onset of severe abdominal pain while she was having a routine exam. This case reinforces that pregnancy after myomectomy should be closely monitored with respect to uterine rupture.
