title: [Acute anemia induced by rupture of a luteal cyst, aggravated by the ingestion of antivitamin K].
abstract: A case of hemoperitoneum secondary to the rupture of an ovarian cyst is reported in a 14 1/2 year-old girl. The severity of the bleeding was explained by anticoagulant therapy given during the previous 3 weeks for laceration of ankle ligaments which necessitated surgery. In this age group, the differential diagnosis with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy had to be considered. The relative prevalence (10%) of complications associated with antivitamin K administration is discussed.
