[Uterine rupture. Apropos of a series of 52 cases from the brush].

Study of a new series of 52 cases of hysterorrhexis observed at Oddiene, county town in the North-West of Ivory Coast, underlines the pejorative impact of isolation and of the insufficiency of monitoring of the pregnancies in remote areas. The paper details causes and consequences of such an obstetrical catastrophic event, and reports some conclusions of the surgical treatment in which suturing is the most frequent act.
