title: [Uterine rupture without predisposing factors after a single vaginal PgE2 administration in prolonged pregnancy].
abstract: The case of a 38-year old 3/1 gravida with prolonged pregnancy is discussed. Labour was induced with a prostaglandin (PgE2-) vaginal tablet 4 days after an oxytocin stress test had failed. After rapid labour development, imminent fetal asphyxia suddenly occurred, leading to an emergency cesarean section. A rupture of the left uterus wall rupture with laceration of uterine vessels was demonstrated. This is the first case report of a uterus rupture that happened in prolonged pregnancy without predisposing risk factors after a single PgE2 dose that was correctly placed into the posterior fornix.
