Abruptio placentae associated with perforated appendicitis and generalized peritonitis

Y Yaron et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1992 Jan.

Abstract

A primigravid woman at 35 weeks' gestation was admitted with abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting. Forceful contractions and signs of fetal distress suggested abruptio placentae. During caesarean section, seropurulent exudate and a perforated appendix were found; an appendectomy was performed. A mechanism linking appendicitis with abruptio placentae is suggested.
