Traumatic transection of the uterus: missed, diagnosed, and repaired—a case report and review of literature

The rarity of the condition and unfamiliarity with the pathology caused the initial misdiagnosis. If the injury remains undiagnosed it causes infertility, severe amenorrhea and/or dysmenorrhea, and a markedly impaired quality of life. The injury once diagnosed is easily repaired and often results in the return of menstruation and, sometimes, even fertility.
