Recurrent uterine rupture in third trimester of pregnancy.

We report a case of recurrent upper segment uterine rupture in a 31-year-old woman at 32+5/40 weeks of gestation. She had fundal uterine rupture 3 years ago in her first pregnancy at 40 weeks of gestation. There was no history of uterine malformation or prior uterine surgery. However, we noted that she had had three laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis treatment. She was scheduled to have an elective repeat caesarean section at 34+6/40 weeks of gestation in the index pregnancy. Unfortunately, she presented at 32+5/40 weeks with features of acute abdomen and signs of fetal distress. She had a category 1 caesarean section and was found to have fundal uterine rupture at the same site. She had a smooth uneventful recovery following a timely intervention and discharged home on day 5 postoperatively in a good condition with her baby girl.
