title: [Computed tomographic features in ovarian bleeding].
abstract: CT scans of eight patients with ovarian bleeding (7 idiopathic and 1 secondary to bleeding tendency) were reviewed. CT showed intrapelvic hemorrhage in all cases, and ruptured ovary was identified in 6 cases. High density area in or around the ovary, seen in 2 cases, suggested the site of bleeding. In 4 cases the ovary was observed as a low density area. Ovarian bleeding is a common disorder, and should be considered as a differential diagnosis of intrapelvic hemorrhage in females.
