Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of the uterus during the 2^nd and 3^rd trimester resulting from invasive placentation is a rare complication of pregnancy. We report a case of a 39-year-old G6P4, with four previous cesarean sections, who presented at mid-gestation with brown vaginal discharge. Invasive placenta previa was detected upon conducting abdominal ultrasound. The fetal head was seen trapped within the uterine scar, while the fetal body was visualized within the maternal abdominal cavity with intact membranes. In cases with invasive placentation, early attention to uterine rupture may reduce maternal morbidity.
