Uterine rupture usually occurs in a scarred uterus, especially secondary to prior cesarean section. Antepartum uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus is extremely rare. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of an unscarred gravid uterus at 32 weeks of gestation in a primigravid woman. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a bulging cystic lesion communicating with the intrauterine cavity. Operative findings during emergent cesarean section revealed uterine perforation in the right cornual area and a prolapsed, nonbleeding amniotic sac. The left cornual area was also focally thin. An arcuate uterus was suspected based on follow-up hysterosalpingography. Antepartum uterine rupture tends to occur in the uterine cornual area. In this case, Müllerian duct anomalies may have been associated with focal myometrial defects.

Rationale: Spontaneous uterine rupture, although rare, is a life-threatening obstetric emergency with a high maternal and fetal mortality rate. It can occur without warning, leading to severe complications, including hemorrhage, shock, and fetal demise. The risk factors contributing to uterine rupture are diverse and include a history of uterine surgery (such as cesarean section), trauma to the uterus, abnormal uterine contractions during labor, and underlying conditions like adenomyosis.

Presentation Of Case: We report two cases of uterine rupture in two pregnant women referred to our centre due to the inadvertent administration of high doses of misoprostol in peripheral health centres. Both patients had hysterectomies, multiple blood transfusions and intrauterine fetal deaths.

Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the maternal and neonatal outcomes in patients who experienced uterine rupture, comparing those who underwent a trial of labour to those who did not.
Methods: A population-based retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary university medical centre from 2008 to 2019. The cohort consisted of all women who were diagnosed with uterine rupture during cesarean delivery (CD) or laparotomy.
