BACKGROUND: Poor reproductive outcome was well documented in several studies of women exposed to diethylstilbestrol in utero. Spontaneous rupture of an unscarred uterus is rare and very uncommon in the first trimester of pregnancy. CASE: Spontaneous rupture of the uterus was diagnosed in a 28-year-old nullipara who developed acute abdominal pain at 12 weeks' gestation. She was known to have been exposed to diethylstilbestrol in utero. Laparotomy revealed the rupture in the anterior fundal area of the uterus. Both tubes were normal. CONCLUSION: Several spontaneous ruptures have been described, but this is the first case of first-trimester spontaneous rupture of an unscarred uterus in a diethylstilbestrol-exposed woman.
BACKGROUND: Incarcerated uterus is a rare condition with potentially serious complications that is often difficult to diagnose. This series shows the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CASES: Five pregnant women with incarcerated uterus are presented and the MRI findings compared with MRI in normal pregnancy. CONCLUSION: The use of MRI can be helpful in diagnosing this rare condition.
We herein report a case of a pregnant woman with previous cesarean section whose uterus herniated in an incisional hernia of the anterior abdominal wall at 34 weeks of pregnancy. Incarceration of the pregnant uterus in an incisional hernia is a rare but serious obstetric situation. Treatment is conservative till term followed by delivery and herniorrhaphy as was done in our case and it was associated with successful outcome.
