Abstract

The aetiopathogenesis, clinical picture and anatomopathological features of spontaneous rupture of the uterus during labour are examined and reference is made to a personal case in which the ensuing massive haemorrhage necessitated hysterectomy. A pathogenetic interpretation of this serious complication is based on the findings.
