Case report and literature review of management of preterm prelabour rupture of membranes before fetal viability

Preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM) complicates up to 3% of pregnancy and is responsible for one third of preterm deliveries. PPROM at extremely preterm gestations (<24 weeks) affects 0.4% of pregnancies and is associated with low neonatal survival rates, high rate of neonatal complications in survivors, and carries major risk of maternal morbidity and mortality. We present a rare case of pregnancy complicated by PPROM at 14 weeks which resulted in a term delivery and a good neonatal outcome.
