The case is presented of a primigravid patient with spontaneous rupture of a bicornuate uterus associated with significant anaerobic infection. Thinning of the myometrium at the site of the rupture was noted in the pathologic specimen. The anaerobic infection, primarily contained in the intact amniotic sac, resolved with total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic drainage and antibiotic therapy.
