| description | Traumatic rupture of an ovarian endometrioma is extremely rare injury. We describe a case of a 63-year-old female presenting after a motor vehicle crash (MVC) with complex abdominal injuries requiring exploratory laparotomy that was complicated by delayed presentation of an ovarian endometrioma rupture on second look laparotomy. During the repeat exploration of the abdomen, multiple regions of small bowel and the pelvic floor were noted to be covered with a brown-colored material which was concerning for fecal matter from a missed enterotomy. The patient was kept open for an additional 24 h providing time for occult injuries to reveal themselves and for proper mechanical preparation of the rectum to perform rigid sigmoidoscopy, essential to definitively rule out a missed injury in this rare situation. |
