Abstract
Uterine scar dehiscence or rupture is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of caesarean delivery. It is the opening of the uterine incision line that can lead to postpartum haemorrhage, pelvic hematoma, pelvic abscess, endomyometritis, generalised or localised peritonitis and sepsis. Here we report a case of a 25 years old female who presented with puerperal pyrexia. Investigations revealed uterine scar rupture with a uterovesical collection. The case was managed conservatively with intravenous antibiotics, an intracervical Foley’s catheter and a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist.
