title: Diagnostic potential of cardiotocography (CTG) for silent uterine rupture.
abstract: We report on 3 patients with silent rupture of previous uterine scars. Despite continuous monitoring by cardiotocography, diagnosis was not made until the time of surgery. The cesarean section was indicated by the obstetrical-clinical examination, while CTG offered no evidence of uterine rupture.
