- Abstract
Spontaneous rupture of an ovarian artery following vaginal delivery is extremely rare cause of postpartum haemorrhage but usually life-threatening event. The classical presentation including sudden onset of abdominal pain and hypovolaemic shock with no evidence of vaginal bleeding. Early recognition with prompt surgical interventions is mandatory to achieve a favourable outcome for patient because of its association with high maternal and fetal mortality. We report a case of spontaneous retroperitoneal haemorrhage caused by rupture of a right ovarian artery in a post vaginal delivery patient.
