Case report of a ruptured uterine sacculation in the 19th week of pregnancy

Abstract

Abstract Background Uterine sacculation with a resulting uterine rupture is a rare complication in pregnant patients. Fibroids or a previous cesarean section increase the risk of severe complications such as a uterine rupture due to increased pressure and the elongation of the affected uterine segment. Prenatal clinical diagnosis and medical imaging of a uterine sacculation and rupture of the uterus remain challenging, even with the most modern imaging techniques. An early diagnosis is essential to reduce severe complications. Case presentation Here, we report the case of a 38-year-old female patient II G I P in the 19th week of pregnancy with a ruptured uterine sacculation. Conclusion This case report is intended to raise awareness for the importance of the knowledge and supervision of a retroverted uterus in early pregnancy, especially after a cesarean section.
