Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of the developing embryo outside the uterine cavity. It usually occurs in the fallopian tubes. One of the critical complications of ectopic pregnancy is rupture. The most common symptoms of ectopic pregnancy rupture are vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. In atypical presentations, the diagnosis is based on suspicion. Herein, we presented a case of ruptured ectopic pregnancy with an atypical presentation. The diagnosis of ruptured ectopic pregnancy should be considered when women with childbearing potential apply to the emergency department.
