Rotura espontánea de útero bicorne en gestación asociada a acretismo placentario

Abstract

The sudden rupture in bicornuate pregnant uterus is an uncommon and difficult-to-diagnose occurrence. The prevalence of congenital uterine malformations amongst fertile women is documented for 1-2% of the population; of these, bicornuate uterus varies from 25 to 37%. The rupture of the uterine wall happens generally in the second trimester, accompanied by an intense abdominal pain as a result of the intraperitoneal hemorrhage. We report a case of a 19 weeks pregnancy with an uterine rupture in a bicornuate uterus associated with a placental accretism. Both placental accretism and bicornuate uterus are uncommon but can be related. A left-side hemihysterectomy was applied leading to a satisfactory evolution.
