Rupture of uterus occurring spontaneously is a rare occurrence. Here we are presenting a case of spontaneous postmenopausal rupture of uterus caused by pyometra. This can be associated with high morbidity if generalized peritonitis and sepsis occurs. The symptoms will be like acute abdomen similar to that caused by ruptured bowel or gastric perforation. In case of postmenopausal rupture like ours, gynaecological symptoms are very less. Hence the diagnosis becomes difficult and challenging. Here we report a rare case of uterine rupture that occurred in a postmenopausal woman because of pyometra. The patient landed up in the surgical department as case of acute abdomen. Definitive diagnosis was made at the time of laparotomy only when exploration was done and gynaecologist called.
