Spontaneous rupture of uterine artery in a non-pregnant woman with adenomyosis: a case report and review of current literature.

Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of a uterine artery is a rare occurrence and more often associated with postpartum haemorrhage. It is even more unusual outside pregnancy. In this report, we will describe a case of spontaneous uterine artery rupture in a 40-year-old non-pregnant female with adenomyosis who presented with severe vaginal bleeding. We will also review the aetiology of rupture of uterine artery based on the current literature.
