摘要：La rotura uterina se define como la solución de continuidad de la pared uterina. Es una complicación obstétrica poco frecuente y potencialmente letal para la madre y el feto, que ocurre generalmente durante el segundo o tercer trimestre de gestación, y que está asociada principalmente a la cirugía uterina previa, constituyendo así un desafío médico por su difícil diagnóstico diferencial y controversial manejo. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 26 años de edad, con rotura espontánea de útero grávido de 18 semanas de gestación y antecedente de cicatriz uterina. Se realiza laparotomía exploradora obteniendo como hallazgo placenta y cordón umbilical unido a feto sin vida en cavidad abdominal, lo que confirma diagnóstico intraoperatorio. Spontaneous Uterine Rupture in Second Trimester of Pregnancy: Case report and Literature review Abstract Uterine rupture is a solution of continuity of the uterine wall. It is an uncommon and potentially lethal obstetric complication, for both mother and fetus, that mainly occurs during the second or third trimester of pregnancy, and that is mainly associated to previous uterine surgery, thus forming a medical challenge for its difficult differential diagnosis and controversial management. We report the case of a 26 years old patient with a spontaneous gravid uterine rupture, 18 weeks of gestation and cesarean scar background. Laparotomy is conducted finding both placenta and umbilical cord attached to no-living fetus in the abdominal cavity, which confirms intraoperative diagnosis.
