Case Report : Death due to ruptured tubal pregnancy: A case report

Ruptured tubal pregnancy is a life-threatening surgical emergency. It is the most common cause of first trimester morbidity, mortality and a major cause of early foetal wastage. Modern, improved diagnostic techniques and multimodality management have drastically reduced death from ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Postmortem examination was done on the body of a 29-year-old female with the history of sudden onset of acute severeabdominal pain, vomiting and missed period for five days. It revealed massive intraperitoneal haemorrhage and ruptured left fallopian tube. Microscopic examination of the ruptured segment of the fallopian tube confirmed ectopic implantation.
