title: Spontaneous rupture of a utero-ovarian vein during pregnancy.
abstract: Atraumatic rupture of a utero-ovarian vein during pregnancy is a potentially lethal complication that is likely to be misdiagnosed because of its rarity. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman at 25 weeks' gestation who had an acute abdomen and shock.
