- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 28-year-old woman with a 15-day history of lower abdominal pain. The patient is also experiencing multiple episodes of bilious vomiting. Physical examinations were conducted on the woman which show that vaginal attributes were unremarkable. It states that dark-coloured blood from the peritoneal cavity was drained during laparotomy. Accordingly, the patient was diagnosed with ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
