A uterine scar from a previous [[cesarean section]] is the most common risk factor. Other forms of uterine surgery that result in full-thickness incisions (such as a [[myomectomy]]), dysfunctional labor, labor augmentation by [[oxytocin]] or [[prostaglandins]], and high parity may also set the stage for uterine rupture. In 2006, an extremely rare case of uterine rupture in a first pregnancy with no risk factors was reported.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Walsh CA, O'Sullivan RJ, Foley ME |title=Unexplained prelabor uterine rupture in a term primigravida |journal=Obstetrics and gynecology |volume=108 |issue=3 Pt 2 |pages=725-7 |year=2006 |pmid=17018479 |doi=10.1097/01.AOG.0000195065.38149.11}}</ref> | |||

Overview
A uterine scar from a previous cesarean section is the most common risk factor. Other forms of uterine surgery that result in full-thickness incisions (such as a myomectomy), dysfunctional labor, labor augmentation by oxytocin or prostaglandins, and high parity may also set the stage for uterine rupture. In 2006, an extremely rare case of uterine rupture in a first pregnancy with no risk factors was reported.[1]
