[Uterine rupture during second trimester abortion induced with misoprostol].
A 27-year-old woman with one prior cesarean section and one vaginal delivery was seen with a request for termination of pregnancy in her 17th week of pregnancy. Using vaginal misoprostol for two days the vaginal delivery failed. The fetus was giving way of previous scar resulting in rupture of the uterus, loss of blood and suture of uterus by laparotomy.
