Cesarean scar rupture of a gravid uterus with unknown corporeal scar is common. Our case was a 35 year woman, gravida 2, para 1 presented at 38 weeks gestation. She was admitted to our hospital for routine follow up. She had no signs or symptoms of labor. However eight hours after the initial examination, she came back to hospital with the signs of shock and acute abdomen. Immediately she was referred to surgery. Intraoperatively a complete rupture of the classical corporeal incision was observed, but the fetus was enclosed within the anterior lying plasenta. The fetus was delivered with one minute apgar score 3, and five minute apgar score 8. According to this case, we conclude that spontaneous uterine rupture of the classical uterine scar can be observed even without uterine contractions. So women with the possibility of previous classical uterine incision should be delivered once fetal maturity is documented.
