| description | This case report outlines the clinical course of a young woman who presented as haemodynamically unstable due to uterine perforation. She had undergone suction dilation and curettage three weeks prior and received a diagnosis of complete molar pregnancy. During her most recent acute presentation, an emergency laparotomy revealed a full-thickness fundal uterine rupture in a region of newly identified arteriovenous malformation. Haemostasis was achieved with the primary repair of the perforation. She was subsequently diagnosed with gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (GTN), a condition characterised by abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic tissue. She received three courses of methotrexate followed by a two-month course of dactinomycin. At one-year surveillance, she had made a complete recovery. |
