Abstract

Uterine rupture is a life threatening condition for the mother as well as the fetus. It is a public health problem in developing countries. It occurs mostly in a previous Caeserian Section patients or scarred uterus. But it can also occur in a non scarred uterus due to other causes. It is not always easy to diagnose when there is no facility for ultrasonography. It is diagnosed by clinical signs in a rural set up.
