| description | Abstract
Background Hemoperitoneum is a life-threatening surgical emergency. Diagnosis of the cause is often difficult, in particular, during pregnancy when it may be either obstetric or nonobstetric.
Case We report the case of a hemoperitoneum caused by the backflow of blood through a uterine tube, due to placental abruption.
Conclusion Hemoperitoneum in pregnant women with no other signs can reveal placental abruption. The difficulty in identifying the cause may delay appropriate management. |
