Omental Prolapse Presenting 72 Hours after Delivery. Delayed Manifestation or Delayed Presentation: An Enigma
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) is a safe and effective method to reduce the rate of repeated CS and its associated morbidity and mortality but its success depends on many factors. Omental prolapse secondary to uterine rupture is a rare and dreaded complication in women attempting VBAC and its late presentation is much more rarer. A unique case of uterine rupture was discovered when a woman presented 72 hours after delivery with pain abdomen and on examination omentum was noted protruding through the vagina. Whether the uterine rupture followed by omental prolapse, occurred late or patient presented so late remains unexplained in our case.This case also highlights the importance of the patient education and counselling for institutional delivery and failure of heath care professionals in achieving it
