title: Postcoital vaginal rupture after hysterectomy presenting as generalised peritonitis.
abstract: Postcoital vaginal rupture is a rare but well documented complication of hysterectomy. Evisceration of the small intestine, vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain are common presenting features. We report the unusual case of vaginal rupture presenting with generalised peritonitis without  vaginal evisceration.
