Haemorrhagic Corpus Lutem Mimic Appendicitis

Haemoperitoneum secondary to ruptured corpus luteum is a rare complication for women of reproductive life. The differential diagnosis of hemoperitoneum includes various types of acute abdomen that usually associated with acute lower abdominal pain and swelling lower abdomen. The differential diagnosis includes ruptured ectopic pregnancy, ruptured chocolate cyst, twisted ovarian tumor, pelvic inflammatory disease and pelvic peritonitis. Ruptured hemorrhagic corpus luteum is an uncommon cause of acute abdomem. Its occurrence is unknown but is likely quite frequent and without symptoms. Most cases are self limiting; enquire only observation with abdominal pain relieved with analgesics. Some need laparoscopy or laparotomy to achieve homeostasis if the patient is haemodynamically unstable. Key word: Haemoperitoneum, Appendicitis, Ruptured Corpus luteum.

Massive intraperitoneal hemorrhage from a ruptured corpus luteum: a rare complication of long-term anticoagulant therapy.

THE value of long-term anticoagulant therapy for the prevention of thromboembolism is widely accepted. Fortunately, major hemorrhagic complications are infrequent and, when recognized promptly, can usually be treated effectively. In contrast to well known and readily diagnosed hazards such as gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria, cerebral hemorrhage, subcutaneous ecchymoses, epistaxis and hemoptysis, a group of rare, less easily recognized hemorrhagic complications has been described in the past decade. These include spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma,1 bilateral adrenal hemorrhage,2 retroperitoneal hemorrhage,3 hemopericardium,4 hematoma of the rectus abdominis5 and intraperitoneal hemorrhage of ovarian follicular origin.6 The present case appears to constitute the second record of . . .

Rupture of corpus luteum with production of hemoperitoneum; report of nineteen cases.

Hemoperitoneum resulting from rupture of a corpus luteum is not an uncommon condition, although the total number of cases reported in the literature is relatively small. In the majority of these cases erroneous preoperative diagnoses, such as acute appendicitis, ruptured extrauterine pregnancy, and salpingitis, were made. Morton,¹in 1931, collected 26 cases of ruptured corpus luteum and found that in all of them the condition had been misdiagnosed. In none of the 11 cases of ruptured corpus luteum reported by Kretzschmar and Arnell,²in 1936, was the condition recognized preoperatively. Likewise, an erroneous diagnosis was made in the 10 cases of bleeding corpus luteum reported by Israel,³in 1937, as well as in the 15 cases reported by Pecman⁴and the 12 cases reported by Weil.⁵In our series, of 19 cases, a correct diagnosis was established in only one. This preponderant error in diagnosis

Ovarian Rupture Causing Intraperitoneal Hemorrhage: With Report of Ten Cases

1. The clinical and pathologic features of ovarian rupture (nongravid) are presented. Corpus luteum perforation is shown to be a more frequent cause of intraperitoneal hemorrhage than is follicular rupture. 2. The characteristic relationship between the time of ovarian rupture and the menstrual cycle is described. Follicular perforations occur at mid-interval and those of the corpus luteum during the latter half of the menstrual cycle. 3. The differential diagnosis between ovarian rupture, acute appendicitis, and ectopic pregnancy is discussed. 4. The treatment of ovarian rupture is usually laparotomy with conservation of the bleeding ovary. Nonsurgical treatment may be permitted if the diagnosis is certain. 5. Ten eases of corpus luteum rupture with intraperitoneal hemorrhage are reported. 1. The clinical and pathologic features of ovarian rupture (nongravid) are presented.
