What is it about?
Uterine rupture in a healthy uterus is a very rare obstetrical event. It is important because it remains associated with maternal mortality, particularly in developing countries, and with significant maternal morbidity, especially peripartum hysterectomy. It is also associated with a high incidence of perinatal mortality and morbidity worldwide.

Why is it important?
Although uterine rupture in a healthy uterus is a rare obstetric complication, with an incidence of 0.5% [1,2], its outcome can be disastrous [3]. Once it occurs, it progresses rapidly and directly threatens maternal-fetal life [4,5].
Perspectives
There are many risk factors for uterine rupture, but the most common is a scarred uterus. Spontaneous uterine rupture in a healthy uterus remains a rare event [6]. It has been reported that spontaneous rupture of a healthy uterus occurs in 1 in 15,000 [7].
