Abstract
We describe a case involving spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma caused by rupture of an aneurysm of the right ovarian artery 4 days after delivery i n a multiparous woman. Diagnosis was achieved by arteriography. Bleeding wa s stopped by embolization via selective arteriography. Hematoma was drained by lomboscopy. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying development an d treatment of these aneurysms are discussed.
