Spontaneous uterine rupture during the first trimester of a partial molar pregnancy in a scar uterus: A rare case report
2021
Abstract Introduction Spontaneous uterine rupture in the first trimester is a redoubtable obstetric emergency that carries a high risk for both mother and fetus. Cases presentation We present the case of a spontaneous uterine rupture in a patient with a scarred uterus at 9 weeks' gestation treated by laparotomy in emergency obstetrical department of Ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca; whose histological examination of the removed material found a partial mole. Clinical discussion Spontaneous uterine rupture in the first trimester is rare and usually occurs in a scarred or malformed uterus. Clinicians should consider this diagnosis in the presence of an acute abdominal pain in early pregnancy with or without first trimester metrorrhagia. Conclusion Since the rate of uterine surgeries is increasing, it is necessary to highlight the risk of uterine rupture occurring early in order to improve their management. Molar pregnancy is a factor of fragility of the uterine wall and uterine rupture must be suspected in any molar pregnancy associated with a hemoperitoneum.
