Abstract

RÉSUMÉ
La rupture utérine est une complication obstétricale grave, particulièrement chez les femmes porteuses d’un utérus cicatriciel. Elle demeure fréquente dans les pays à ressources limitées du fait de l’insuffisance du suivi prénatal. Nous rapportons le cas d’une patiente de 23 ans, G3P2, avec antécédent de césarienne par hystérotomie segmentaire verticale, admise pour anémie sévère sur grossesse estimée à 6 mois, compliquée d’une rupture utérine en cours de travail. La laparotomie d’urgence a mis en évidence une déhiscence de la cicatrice utérine associée à une grossesse gémellaire bichoriale biamniotique, avec décès fœtal in utero. Une hystérorraphie en deux plans a été réalisée avec suites opératoires simples. Ce cas souligne l’importance du suivi prénatal et de la surveillance stricte des grossesses sur utérus cicatriciel.


ABSTRACT
Uterine rupture is a serious obstetric complication, particularly in women with a scarred uterus. It remains common in resource-limited countries due to inadequate prenatal care. We report the case of a 23-year-old woman, 3 weeks pregnant, with a history of cesarean section via vertical segmental hysterotomy, admitted for severe anemia during a pregnancy estimated at 6 months, complicated by uterine rupture during labor. Emergency laparotomy revealed dehiscence of the uterine scar associated with a dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy, with intrauterine fetal death. A two-layer hysteroplasty was performed with an uncomplicated postoperative course. This case highlights the importance of prenatal care and close monitoring of pregnancies in women with a uterine scar.
