Abstract
Spontaneous rupture of uterine vessels during pregnancy is an exceptional event which remains little known by the gynecologists. Being given its important morbi-mortality, we wanted to make a reminder of this pathology through three cases arisen in the CHU of Grenoble. All patients experienced acute abdominal pain. In two cases out of three, birth followed vaginal delivery. No maternal death was deplored. Fetal prognosis remains poor, as one is dead among our three cases. Clinical signs are sensible but not specific. Early management requires efficient resuscitation then surgical haemostasis, and has to be teatched in order to improve its prognosis.
