Spontaneous rupture of a low transverse cesarean scar.
Uterine rupture occurs in less than 1% of pregnancies. The literature over the past several years confirms the safety of the low transverse uterine scar. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of a low transverse cesarean scar at 36 weeks' gestation, resulting in fetal death.
