Abstract
Acute haemoperitoneum in pregnancy due to tears in broad ligament and utero-ovarian vessel rupture is quite rare. Endometriosis is an important pelvic pathology in many such cases. We present a case of primigravida, a known case of endometriosis, at 14.5 weeks of pregnancy who presented with hypovolemic shock and was found to have broad ligament tears and oozing from utero-ovarian vessels and hemoperitoneum at laparotomy. Subsequently she had a miscarriage and was found to have pelvic hematoma which was successfully managed with radiological intervention thus reducing maternal morbidity. She had a successful normal delivery 5 years later.
