Core Tip

Core Tip: With the full implementation of two-child policy in China, the prevalence of uterine rupture has shown an increasing trend. Atypical uterine rupture is easily misdiagnosed as other obstetric or surgical diseases. For atypical uterine rupture, abdominocentesis can be used to make a diagnosis. We present two atypical cases of uterine rupture, and explore risk factors, clinical manifestations, early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of uterine rupture.
