Early Challenges: A Case Report of a Premature Baby with Down Syndrome and Uterine Rupture

Abstract

Introduction Uterine rupture represents one of the most severe obstetric affections. It is defined as a complete or a partial tearing of the uterine wall. Women with a prior cesarean section are reported to have a higher risk of having this situation. Moreover, maternal death and most of all middle- and long-term adverse consequences remain a great preoccupation. On another scale, neonatal death and ulterior deterioration remain very high, especially in low-income countries.
