Rupture of membranes in second trimester of pregnancy.
The management of rupture of membranes at a nearly viability stage is still controversial. A case of a primigravida, who had rupture of membranes at 23 weeks of gestation, is reported. On conservative management, her pregnancy continued to 30 weeks and she delivered a normal fetus, who showed no abnormality till one year of follow-up.
