What is it about?
Uterine rupture is a rare but severe obstetric complication, typically associated with scarred uteri due to previous surgeries or trauma. Spontaneous rupture in an unscarred uterus is exceptionally uncommon, particularly during early pregnancy, and poses significant risks to maternal and fetal health.

Why is it important?
We report the case of a 32-year-old G3P1 woman presenting with acute abdominal pain and mild vaginal bleeding at 17 weeks of amenorrhea. The patient had no prior uterine surgeries or evident risk factors for uterine rupture.
Perspectives
Uterine rupture on an unscarred uterus is a rare obstetric complication that poses immediate risks, not only to the patient's life but also to their obstetric prognosis. Fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity remain significantly high [1,2].
