Abstract
Spontaneous rupture of utero-ovarian vessels during pregnancy is a rare cause of maternal and fetal loss. We report the case of a 30-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department in her third trimester with frank maternal shock. The prompt recognition of shock, correction of hypovolemia, and rapid surgical intervention by her obstetrician led to a favorable outcome for both mother and child.
