title: [Pregnancy in primigravida complicated by premature rupture of membranes in 15th week of pregnancy with successful delivery outcome of the mature newborn--case report and review of the literature].
abstract: Premature rupture of membranes and amniotic fluid leakage is a very serious complication of pregnancy. In most cases it causes the premature contractile activity of uterine muscle and premature labour. It is a very rare situation when after premature rupture of membranes at less than 20 weeks of gestation it is possible to carry pregnancy to term with a successful delivery outcome of healthy mature infant. In the study we analysed the course of pregnancy in 28 years old primigravida with PROM from 15th week of pregnancy with a successful delivery outcome of mature newborn in 37th week of gestation. Our analysis revealed that in certain cases of premature rupture of membranes it is possible to successfully prolong the duration of pregnancy till the foetus matures. It seems necessary to improve the management which allows to prolongate the duration of pregnancy in premature rupture of membranes.
