This paper reviews the literature on the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, and management of spontaneous rupture of uterine vessels during pregnancy, and presents a case in which a 32-year-old woman developed immediate postpartum hemoperitoneum due to rupture of superficial uterine venous vessels. The authors performed laparotomy and urgent hysterectomy, finding endometrial tissue on the posterior uterine face and posterior cul-de-sac with active venous bleeding, and searched Medline/Pubmed, Ebsco, Ovid, and ProQuest (1966 onward) using relevant keywords without language or design restrictions. They identified 34 articles and selected 13 (1 clinical practice guideline, 2 reviews, and 10 case reports), concluding that uterine-vessel rupture hemoperitoneum is rare, has unclear etiology, and presents with nonspecific symptoms, with management requiring a multidisciplinary approach, early surgical intervention, and correct intravascular volume replacement. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reports an endometriosis-associated postpartum hemoperitoneum from uterine venous rupture and places the case within a literature review explicitly discussing endometriosis as a possible risk factor.
