Abstract

Rupture of tubal ectopic pregnancy is the most common life threatening emergency in early pregnancy. The multitude of presentations to clinician on first contact can be misleading in the absence of high suspicion. The current case report is to explain the importance of keeping ruptured ectopic pregnancy as a differential diagnosis in women of child bearing age and importance of obtaining history in such cases.
