Resumen
GRAY, Sheree C. et al. Incidental amniocele in a case of antepartum haemorrhage. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.1, pp.1-4. ISSN 2078-6778. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v24i1.1817.
An amniocele, or contained uterine rupture, is a phenomenon in which there is herniation of the amniotic sac through a uterine defect, secondary to various causes. It is associated with severe morbidity and mortality. This case presents the findings in a 36-year-old female at 29 weeks gestation who was initially managed as antepartum haemorrhage secondary to placenta previa, based on ultrasound. Upon further imaging, an amniocele was diagnosed. This case report illustrates the importance of early identification of this life-threatening condition.
