description A 27-year-old female with an 18-week pregnancy was involved in a high impact motor vehicle accident due to which she suffered a uterine rupture secondary to blunt abdominal trauma. Traumatic uterine rupture may result from blunt abdominal traumas such as those that occur during motor vehicle accidents.

Here, we present a unique case of uterine rupture that was surgically repaired, allowing for the continuation of pregnancy.
