Abstract EN
Insertion of intrauterine pressure catheters is a routine procedure performed in labor and delivery departments, with few associated complications.
There are several reports of maternal and neonatal morbidity associated with the use of intrauterine pressure catheters and their rare adverse outcomes.
We report an unusual case of uterine hypertonicity resulting in fetal distress, immediately after the placement of an intrauterine pressure catheter.
An emergent Cesarean section was performed for fetal distress and revealed a 5 cm vertical rent in the posterior lower uterine segment.
The uterine perforation was repaired intraoperatively.
Mother and infant did well and were discharged home on postoperative day four.
