Spontaneous uterine rupture as a life-threatening presentation of molar pregnancy: a case report

Even though it is rare, a ruptured uterus in a molar pregnancy can be a catastrophic complication, presenting with massive hemoperitoneum and hemorrhagic shock. Hysterectomy, along with vascular filling with crystalloid and transfusion of blood products, can save a patient's life. Patients can be followed with serial serum human chorionic gonadotropin for any transformation to gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.

Abstract

Even though it is rare, a ruptured uterus in a molar pregnancy can be a catastrophic complication, presenting with massive hemoperitoneum and hemorrhagic shock. Hysterectomy, along with vascular filling with crystalloid and transfusion of blood products, can save a patient's life. Patients can be followed with serial serum human chorionic gonadotropin for any transformation to gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
