N2  - Objective:to assess the strength of the association between  transvaginal ultrasonographic measurement of the lower uterine segment  in women with prior one CS undergoing a trial of vaginal birth and  uterine scar defect at delivery and to ascertain the best cut-off value for  predicting uterine rupture . Results: Uterine dehiscence was found in 3 cases (5%).There were  no cases ofuterine rupture. The thicknessof lower uterine segment among  the gravidas with dehiscence was significantly less than those without  dehiscence. The cut-off value for the thickness of lower uterine segment  was 3.0 mm as calculated by the receiver operating characteristic curve  .The sensitivity was 89.5% , specificity 75.6% , positive predictive value  63% ,negative predictive value 90.3%.
