Uterine rupture is a rare complication of pregnancy. It can cause severe problems for the mother and child if not immediately diagnosed and treated. Some certain risk factors play a major role for occurrence. Multiple pergnancies, grand multiparity, previous cesarean sections or myomectomy operations, hysteroscopic manipulations and corrective uterine surgery, etc. are the main predisposing factors. In this case we report the successful management of a spontaneous uterine rupture in a primigravid female an the 29th week of a twin pregnancy after IVF treatment.
