Peripartum haemoperitoneum.
We report the case of a young pregnant woman who presented with abdominal discomfort and giddiness. After an induced labour, the patient collapsed. Mid-line laparotomy revealed a ruptured and bleeding secondary deposit in the liver. A tumour of the sigmoid colon was also found.
