Abstract
- Spontaneous rupture of an ovarian artery aneurysm is an extremely rare, life-threatening disease and has been reported to be most highly associated with pregnancy. The current study presents a case of intraperitoneal and retroperitoneal hematoma caused by spontaneous rupture of a right ovarian artery aneurysm in a 56-year-old woman. A 56-year-old woman visited the emergency room with right lower quadrant abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a large retroperitoneal and intraperitoneal hematoma and active extravasation of contrast medium in the right retroperitoneum. Consequently, transcatheter arterial embolization was successfully performed. Spontaneous rupture of an ovarian artery aneurysm should be suspected in multiparous women with abdominal or flank pain even if it is unrelated to pregnancy. Suspicion of this entity is needed for earlier diagnosis and management.
