Couvelaire uterus, also known as utero-placental apoplexy, is a rare complication of abruptio placentae that can only be diagnosed via direct visualization of the uterus on laparotomy. In the current case study, we present a case of a 36-year-old female with Couvelaire uterus, in which with a high degree of suspicion for abruptio placentae and strict maternal-fetal monitoring, a good materno-fetal outcome (live, healthy neonate and stable mother) was achieved along with the avoidance of an unfavorable intervention like hysterectomy.
