ABSTRACT

Couvelaire uterus is a complication observed in severe cases of placental abruption. Close monitoring and early identification can prevent serious maternal and fetal outcomes. There are very few reported cases of Couvelaire uterus rupture in the literature, as it is a very rare entity. This syndrome can only be diagnosed through direct visualization during cesarean section or biopsy, or both. Due to this diagnostic challenge, its prevalence is often under-reported and underestimated in the literature. We present a rare case of Couvelaire uterus in a 35-year-old woman with preeclampsia, where the uterus was preserved.
