title: Occult uterine rupture: role of ultrasonography.
abstract: This article presents a case of occult spontaneous uterine rupture complicated by pelvic infection and peritonitis in the postpartum period. Ultrasonography played a primary role in the diagnosis of this complication and clearly demonstrated the uterine wall defect. This finding was confirmed later by computed tomography and by surgery.
