In clinical examination, whole abdomen had tenderness and patient complained of difficulty in breathing, nausea, and vomiting. In vaginal examination, the cervix was closed and the patient’s bleeding was a little more than spotting. Vital sign decreased and the patient's dyspnea deteriorated.Hemoglobinlevel decreased from 13 to 4/5mg/dl. During vaginal sonography, the sonologistreported that there was no possibility of evaluation due to the fullness of abdominal cavity with fluid and blood, and there was a probability of ruptured ectopic pregnancy along with intrauterine pregnancy.The patient was transferred to operating room after the sonography. In the operating room, the fetus with gestational sac was seen in abdomen after laparotomy. The diagnosis of the rupture of uterus was from the previous site of incision, which was repaired by gynecologist.
