Catastrophic Uterine Rupture: Retrospective Analysis of Eight Cases in Rural Area

Abstract

We want to pay attention to uterine rupture cases via presenting our maternal and fetal results in eight cases. Uterine rupture is a serious, life threatening condition, and is still common in developing countries and rural settlements (1). Grand multiparity, prolonged labor and malpresentation were predisposing factors for uterine rupture (2). Also in rural areas with low socioeconomic status, delay in transportation to hospitals seems to be an important factor (1).
