| Popis: | EDITORIAL COMMENT: This case of ruptured splenic artery aneurysm had a fortunate outcome for mother and baby since Caesarean section was performed promptly, because of critical fetal condition, when acute abdominal pain was thought to be due to placental abruption. The Pfannenstiel incision was inappropriate but did not preclude successful management. We accepted this case report for publication to remind readers that this uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain has a predilection to occur during pregnancy and the puerperium — the condition should be considered in any pregnant woman who experiences acute abdominal pain and/or collapse when there is no revealed haemorrhage. This case seems to be another of live(s) saved by cardiotocography. |
