Abstract
Uterine rupture during pregnancy is a critical obstetric complication associated with maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. We present a case of uterine rupture at 27 weeks of gestation, following a previous cornual pregnancy managed laparoscopically. Our case report underlines the importance of multilayered uterine wall repair following the resection of cornual ectopic pregnancy to avoid such potentially catastrophic sequelae.
