- Uterine rupture in a healthy uterus in the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy is a rare and serious obstetric complication involving vital maternal and fetal prognosis and the obstetric outcome of patients in the absence of diagnosis and immediate management. It mainly occurs in a scarred uterus and remains anecdotal in a healthy uterus. We report two cases of uterine rupture in a healthy uterus. We discuss through these cases and the review of the literature, the extreme caution that should be taken to use misoprostol in the event of induction of labor as well as the clinical signs, risk factors, diagnostic methodology and therapeutic management of this rare but potentially serious entity.
