RUPTURE OF THE OVARIAN CORPUS LUTEUM CYST WITH HEMOPERITONEUM. CASE FROM PRACTICE

Abstract

This article presents a clinical case of a 33-year-old patient admitted by ambulance to the hospital with complaints and symptoms suggestive of acute appendicitis. In order to confirm the diagnosis, a computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, which resulted in the suspicion of appendicitis, with an increased size of the appendix being one of the signs. After the examination, the surgeon disagreed with the diagnosis, but after video laparoscopy, appendicitis was ruled out. On further examination, ultrasound examination (USE) revealed signs consistent with a cystic mass of the right ovary, aggravated by hemoperitoneum. Retrospective evaluation of the CT and ultrasound findings, as well as the findings of the laparoscopy made it possible to establish the final diagnosis — rupture of the right ovarian corpus luteum cyst. The study of radial semiotics of urgent conditions in gynecology by physicians is extremely important because it will allow to make successful differential diagnosis and reduce the risk of medical error.
