Abstract

Background: In developed countries where statistics are well defined, 6 to 7 % of road accidents complicate pregnancies and involve pregnant women as a pedestrian in about 4 % of cases. Case: A 39 years old pregnant woman had been victim of a road accident at six months of pregnancy, when as a pedestrian. She was struck directly on the abdomen by a motorcyclist resulting in multiple traumas. She presented in the aftermath of the accident, a cranial vault fracture without mass effect or commitment, a left bimalleolar non-displaced fracture, uterine rupture with fetal death and splenic rupture. Emergency laparotomy performed revealed intra-abdominal injuries and allowed treatment. A conservative uterine suture and total splenectomy were performed. Conclusion: Trauma to a pregnant woman can have serious consequences for both mother and fetus. A careful physical examination and good strategy for requesting additional examinations and a good organization of the medical team rehearsed for this purpose can provide better overall care.
