[Spontaneous rupture of uteroovarian veins in 3rd trimester].
Spontaneous rupture of uteroovarian veins in pregnancy is rare and is a serious complication with a high mortality for both mother and infant. The condition is rarely recognized preoperatively. Patients often present themselves with sudden intense abdominal pain and hypovolemic shock and when fetal distress an abnormal CTG is seen. The acute treatment should consist of maintaining circulating intravascular volume and rapid surgical intervention.
