Sumario: | Clandestine abortion is known to be a major contributor to maternal mortality. We report a case of a 25-year old patient in her 12th week of amenorrhea with peritonitis due to uterine perforation following abortion, admitted with abdomen and pelvis pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Clinical examination on admission showed asthenic peritonitis. Surgical exploration showed widespread acute peritonitis secondary to a perforation of the uterine dome, with collection of 1500 cc of purulent material, dilated bowel loops and multiple false membranes. Surgery: pus aspiration, peritoneal lavage; uterine suture, drainage. The postoperative course was uneventful, the patient was discharged after 15 days. |
