Abstract
Ruptured uterus is one of the most serious complications of pregnancy and labour and carries a high maternal and perinatal mortality. It is one of the main causes of maternal mortality in the developing countries whereas this phenomenon is rarely seen in the developed part of the world. Rupture occurs more commonly in labour and in multi gravidas. An interesting case of uterine rupture is being presented - the patient was initially mistaken for Acute Cholecystitis. The main aim of presenting this case is to emphasise that rupture uterus should always be kept in mind in a pregnant woman not in labor with pain abdomen especially in the last trimester of pregnancy.
