Endometriosis-related spontaneous haemoperitoneum in pregnancy – case report and literature review

Journal Title: Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology - Year 2019, Vol 46, Issue 2

Abstract

Spontaneous haemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP) is a rare disease that is associated with adverse pregnancy outcome. The authors present a case of a 35-year-old pregnant woman who developed spontaneous haemoperitoneum at 33 weeks of gestation. An emergency laparotomy was performed, which revealed massive haemoperitoneum with active bleeding from the endometriotic lesions at the right back of uterus. The authors wish to highlight this uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition, which requires early recognition and prompt surgical intervention to reduce morbidity and mortality.
