Death due to Ruptured Tubal Pregnancy - A case report
Abstract
Abstract : Ruptured tubal pregnancy is a life threatening
surgical emergency. It is the most common cause of first
trimester morbidity, mortality and major cause of early fetal
wastage. Modern improved diagnostic techniques and
multimodality management drastically reduced death from
ruptured ectopic pregnancy. A Postmortem examination was
done on a 29 yr old female body with the history of sudden
onset of acute severe abdominal pain, vomiting and missed
period for 5 days. Postmortem examination revealed massive
intraperitoneal hemorrhage and ruptured left fallopian tube.
Microscopic examination of the ruptured segment of the
fallopian tube confirmed ectopic implantation.
Keyword :Ruptured tubal pregnancy, Intraperitoneal
hemorrhage.
