title: Rupture of an aneurysm of the ovarian artery following delivery and endovascular treatment.
abstract: We report a case of spontaneous rupture of an ovarian artery aneurysm, 5 days after delivery. Severe abdominal pain justified a computed tomography scan, which revealed a massive retroperitoneal hematoma. Arteriography showed the rupture of an ovarian artery aneurysm that was successfully embolized using microcoils.
