title: [Total uterine rupture of a cesarean section scar during attempted vaginal delivery under epidural analgesia].
abstract: A case of complete uterine rupture and abruptio placentae during an attempt of vaginal delivery under epidural analgesia in a woman with previous caesarean section is described and discussed. When using epidural analgesia for such a patient during vaginal delivery it is imperative that newly developed pain should be ascribed to the uterine scar and the diagnosis of threatening uterine rupture be made immediately.
