Uterine rupture following a motorcycle accident at N'Djamena (Chad). A case report
Abstract
Rupture of a gravid uterus is a rare complication of motorcycle accident. We report the case of a 33-year old woman, gravida 6, referred as a case of uterine rupture with intrauterine fetal death at 36 weeks gestation, following a motorcycle accident. Emergency laparotomy revealed an anterior - lateral uterine rupture on the right side about 11 cm which involved the ipsilateral uterine artery. A conservative surgical treatment was employed. Splenectomy was also performed.
