To report a case of acute hemoperitoneum due to erosion of the uterine artery by an endometriotic lesion of the left ovary.
Design
Case report and review of literature.
Setting
University medical center.
Patients
A 39-year-old nulliparous woman with stage 3 endometriosis.
Interventions
Operative laparoscopy followed by laparotomy, oophorectomy, and ligation of the bleeding uterine artery.
Results
Patient is fully recovered and is attempting to conceive.
Conclusions
An endometriotic lesion eroded the wall of the uterine artery, causing massive, acute hemoperitoneum. Such an event may be overlooked during laparotomy and attributed to the trauma of surgery.
