Abstract

We present the first report of a case with a peculiar configurational change in the lower uterine segment detected during transvaginal ultrasonography observation over a short period of time at 25 weeks of gestation, predicting the presence of uterine scar dehiscence at term.

Keywords: cesarean section; ultrasonography; uterine scar dehiscence.
