[Uterine rupture in Denmark during the period 1980-1987].
A retrospective review was undertaken of 128 consecutive cases of rupture of the uterus during the eight-year period from 1 Jan 1980-31 Dec 1987. It was found that rupture of the uterus occurs most commonly after previous Cesarean section but that it may occur after other types of operation on the uterus. Rupture of the uterus does not occur in primiparae unless special conditions are present. Potent stimulation appears to involve a slightly increased risk for rupture of the uterus. A great proportion of the ruptured uteri occurred in women who had previously been submitted to Cesarean section on account of breech presentation as primiparae. In subsequent pregnancies, this resulted in three dead infants and four children with severe brain damage.
