| Résumé : | Spontaneous rupture of utero-ovarian veins occurring during pregnancy or the peripartal period is generally considered to be a medical curiosity (approximately 100 reported cases) rarely mentioned in obstetric textbooks. It is nevertheless a dramatic cause of maternal and/or fetal mortality. The available statistics are the following: 60% of the cases are directly related to labor and 50% occur in primiparas; when the rupture is associated with labor, mortality is 40%. Occurring outside of labor, mortality rate is approximatively 10%. The perinatal mortality remains high at 30%; in 75% of the cases, the broad ligament is the site of rupture (in many cases, the site of rupture is not found, at laparotomy or autopsy). We report the case of a patient who developed ovarian vein rupture on the 3rd postpartum day. |
