Ruptured Ectopic Pregnancy after Previous Hysterectomy: a Case Report

Review of CT revealed moderate haemoperitoneum with a thick-walled cystic mass over the left adnexal region (Figure 1). Ultrasonography is readily available with the advantages of being real-time and equipped with Doppler function, facilitating the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. Cervical dilatation at the time of Caesarean section often results in a remnant of cervix or larger vaginal vault that increases the probability of communication between the vagina and peritoneum with consequent creation of a possible pathway for fertilisation.
