Abstract | This case report describes a uterine rupture initially misinterpreted as acute appendicitis. Uterine rupture is a rare but serious obstetric complication, whereas acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of abdominal pain. The patient gave vaginal birth after previously having had a caesarean delivery. The following days she experienced persistent abdominal pain which was interpreted as acute appendicitis. Diagnostic laparoscopy found a normal appendix but a complete uterine rupture. The lesson to be learned from this case report is not to let the most common diagnoses overshadow the rare ones. |
