[Massive bleeding from a ruptured corpus luteum (author's transl)].
A case is demonstrated, where a 37-year old patient who was continuously dialyzed due to bilateral renal insufficiency, developed an acute and severe bleeding from a ruptured Graafian follicle. The bleeding was life-threatening, most likely due to the continuous treatment with heparin (up to 30,000 IU/day) needed for hemodialysis procedure. Differential diagnostic considerations and treatment measures are reported.
