Abstract	Background: Uterine dehiscence is an uncommon but clinically significant complication following lower segment cesarean section (LSCS), often presenting with nonspecific symptoms and delayed diagnosis. Aim: To evaluate imaging patterns of uterine dehiscence on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) and MRI and correlate imaging findings with clinical severity. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 11 postpartum patients with imaging-confirmed uterine dehiscence over a 3-year period. Clinical features, imaging findings, and complications were analyzed. Defect size was correlated with disease severity using Spearman correlation. Results: Mean age was 28.1 ± 4.5 years. Abdominal pain was present in all patients. Pelvic collections (72.7%) and peritoneal involvement (72.7%) were the most common imaging findings. The mean defect size was approximately 1.5 cm. A moderate positive correlation (r = 0.68, p < 0.05) was observed between defect size and disease severity. Conclusion: Post-caesarean uterine dehiscence demonstrates a wide imaging spectrum. CECT and MRI are complementary modalities, and early imaging plays a crucial role in reducing morbidity and guiding management.
