Spontaneous uterine rupture in a non-gravid, unscarred uterus secondary to fulminant pelvic infection: a case report

A spontaneous uterine rupture in a non-gravid, unscarred uterus resulted from fulminant pelvic infection, establishing chronic pelvic inflammatory disease as an etiology through direct tissue erosion. This case underscores the necessity of considering genital tract sepsis in postmenopausal women presenting with acute abdomen and highlights the critical importance of emergent surgical intervention, targeted antimicrobial therapy, and rigorous adherence to PID management guidelines for preventing this life-threatening complication.

Abstract

A spontaneous uterine rupture in a non-gravid, unscarred uterus resulted from fulminant pelvic infection, establishing chronic pelvic inflammatory disease as an etiology through direct tissue erosion. This case underscores the necessity of considering genital tract sepsis in postmenopausal women presenting with acute abdomen and highlights the critical importance of emergent surgical intervention, targeted antimicrobial therapy, and rigorous adherence to PID management guidelines for preventing this life-threatening complication.
