Spontaneous utero-ovarian vessel rupture during pregnancy: three case reports and a review of the literature
Abstract
Spontaneous rupture of a utero-ovarian vessel during pregnancy is a rare cause of obstetric shock that has caused high rates of maternal and fetal loss. Extensive literature search has revealed only 117 previously reported cases. Three recently managed cases are presented, and clinical features of this maternal complication are discussed.
