title: [Spontaneous hemoperitoneum caused by gallbladder rupture: description of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: The Authors report a case of spontaneous haemoperitoneum following the rupture of the gallbladder. After a review of the literature, clinical, pathogenetic, diagnostic and therapeutic problems are discussed. It is stressed that, although this condition is rare, its incidence is increasing due to the widespread use of anticoagulant therapy.
