Abstract
|
|
|
|
Endometriosis-related symptoms are believed to be alleviated during pregnancy. However, pregnancy complications, such as pseudoaneurysm of the uterine artery, rupture of ovarian or uterine vessels, and intraabdominal bleeding from decidualized deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesion have been rarely reported. Owing to the potential risk of rupture and resultant life-threatening complications, proper diagnosis and close monitoring of decidualized endometriotic lesion are very important despite its low relative risk. Till date, massive vaginal bleeding from decidualized rectovaginal DIE during pregnancy has not been in English literatures. Here, we present the first case of spontaneous massive vaginal bleeding due to decidualized rectovaginal DIE that occurred in the late third trimester of pregnancy.
