Ruptured corpus luteum cyst is a common finding in women of the reproductive age group, but hemoperitoneum in a case of reputured corpus luteum cyst in women on anticoagulants is an uncommon finding. Thus, management in such cases can be done by dose adjustment of anticoagulants. A woman had come to the emergency with complaints of pain distention of abdomen. Her USG showed adenexal mass with hemoperitoneum. She was on anticoagulants. Her coagulation profile was deranged. Patient was managed conservatively with dose adjustment and transfusion of blood and fresh frozen plasma. Hemoperitoneum due to ruptured corpus luteum cyst in reproductive age group have a similar presentation with ectopic pregnancy. In women in this age group pregnancies should be ruled out. Patients on anticoagulants may not require laparotomy and can be managed conservatively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
