A postpartum uterine dehiscence in a pregnant woman with
brucellosis; A cases report
Abstract: A 26-year-old woman at 30 weeks of gestation referred
due to PPROM. From second day after CS, the patients fever increased and
Doppler sonography shows low fluid and hematoma in the uterus. Wound
debridement conducted and during laparotomy the adhesions were released.
The Wright-Coombs 2ME showed infection to brucellosis.
Key words: Uterine dehiscence, Fascia, Cesarean section,
Brucellosis, Premature rupture
Clinical Importance :
Uterine fascia dehiscence in lower uterine segment incision is a rare
but is a potentially dangerous for mothers. However, preterm deliveries
due to PPROM and high uncontrolled fever after CS, are conditions that
practitioners should considering the uterine dehiscence to their
differential diagnoses. Nevertheless, the occurrence of dehiscence due
to brucellosis infection is questionable and require more evaluation.
