Abstract

The uterine mute perforation following uterine evacuation of pregnancy exists; the obstetrical consequences of these are quite unknown. We report 2 cases of pregnancy complicated by uterine rupture and defect after uterine mute perforation. The physical signs are late and misleading. The notion of perforation during the instrumental evacuation of pregnancy must be mentioned for an adequate follow-up. Management thus remains essentially preventive.
