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