Abstract
Abstract
Uterine rupture following trauma in pregnancy is rare, especially in earlier gestational ages. The diagnosis can be challenging, and treatment may be delayed when patients present with nonspecific findings. Therefore, a high index of suspicion must be maintained. Once diagnosed, the treatment involves surgical exploration. We present a case report of a first-trimester uterine rupture of a twin pregnancy following a motor vehicle collision in a patient with prior cesarean sections.
